Synergy delivers unique versatility and value by including Universal Signal Conditioning on all channels. Other vendors expect you to purchase up to five different amplifiers to accomplish what Synergy does in each one. That not only increases your cost and complexity, but sharply reduces portability and convenience. Some examples of the wide range of inputs possible are shown below.

More detail on the types of input devices and how these integrate to the Synergy unit is given below.

	DC Bridge: Connect your strain gages, load cells, force, pressure, torque and piezo-resistive sensors with support for ¼, ½ and full bridge configurations. Auto Balance, Shunt Cal and Auto Cal functions are provided at a touch.
	Thermocouple: Direct inputs for your J, K, E and T thermocouples with cold junction compensation and real-time linearisation.
	ICP type accel: Constant-current excitation for your accelerometers, microphones and force transducers, including IEEE 1451.4 TEDS support. Synergy supports all IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric) sensors including PCB Piezotronics ICP®, Endevco ISOTRON®, Kistler Piezotron® and Brüel & Kjær DeltaTron® types. Charge-mode sensors are also supported with small in-line charge converters.
	Voltage inputs: Synergy offers great flexibility with wide input spans from 20 mV to 20 V direct, up to 40 KV with standard scope probes. All channels are differential to prevent ground loop and EMI problems.
	Sensor power: Up to four DC sources of 1 to 10V provide excitation to power bridges, MEMS sensors, DC-LVDT’s, transmitters, current loops and other circuitry.
	Frequency and RMS: All channels measure both frequency and true-RMS values in real time, eliminating the need for separate F-V, counter-timer and RMS modules.
