Overview
The AVW1 is available as a replacement part or as needed for continuity or compatibility, but Campbell Scientific recommends the AVW200-series interfaces for all new applications.
The AVW200 interfaces are much more accurate and feature a high degree of noise immunity for your vibrating wire measurements.
The AVW1 provides amplification and signal conditioning for the frequency signal of one vibrating wire or vibrating strip transducer. Compatible sensors include pressure, load, strain, or even vibrating wire temperature sensors. The recommended frequency range is 1000 to 9900 Hz (up to 5000 Hz in the CR5000).

Specifications
| Frequency Sweep Range | 1000 to 9900 Hz (performance optimized for greater than 1000 Hz) |
| Number of Vibrating Wire Sensors Measured | One vibrating wire sensor connects to the AVW1. Additional sensors can be measured by using an AM16/32-series multiplexer. |

Data Logger Considerations
Programming
Vibrating wire/strip transducers are measured by the VibratingWire Instruction in CRBasic, and by Instruction 28 (Vibrating Wire) in Edlog. The data logger produces a swept-frequency excitation, then measures a specified number of cycles of the sensor's resonant frequency.
