As shown in the test results, the current system, Vishay 2310, outperforms all other
system in all measured aspects. It is, however, significantly higher cost than all other systems
considered. The measured performance metrics for the four considered amplifier are ranked from
1 to 4, 1 being the best performance and 4 being the worst. As shown in Table 6, DATAQ
DI5B38 shows the lowest performance compared to other systems, and therefore should be
eliminated from the selection.

4.1.3 Set-up Procedure
The set-up procedures for Tacuna, Honeywell and Omega are described and compared.
Discrete gain setting mechanism and gain indication are desirable features, and devices with
easier connecting procedures are preferred.
4.1.3.1 Set-up Procedure for Tacuna
1. Connection
Connect the wires as indicated in Figure 3.

2. Gain Setting
To get a gain of 220, make sure the switches (location shown in Figure 4) are set as
indicated in Table 7.
