New DAC Express Release Supports EX1200 LXI Switch/Measure and Control Subsystem



Irvine, CA May 5, 2009 VTI Instruments Corporation announced today the latest release of its DAC Express Set Up and Run software, which has new features that support its EX1200 series switch/measure and control platform. When combined with any EX1200 mainframe, this competitively-priced turnkey solution can be used to satisfy a wide range of data acquisition requirements.

The EX1200 series provides a powerful combination of LXI Class A precision synchronization and high-density signal switching, measurement and control modules that service a variety of data acquisition applications, said Business Development Manager Tom Sarfi. Our latest DAC Express upgrade delivers an easy-to-use programming-free environment that allows engineers to begin collecting and analyzing data within minutes.

DAC Express 3.5 enables users to monitor and record temperature, voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and period measurements without any programming required. When used with the Ethernet/LXI-based EX1200, this software offers the ability to select from a flexible set of alarm conditions. For example, designated personnel worldwide can be notified via email when critical test data exceeds its limits.

EX1200 relays and analog/digital output can also be controlled by alarm events to drive devices that are outside the system. With DAC Express 3.5, users can construct virtual (calculated) channels with a combination of multiple inputs. They can also create virtual channels that provide the flexibility to generate events only when multiple input conditions have been satisfied.

Modular and flexible, the EX1200 offers the simplicity of Ethernet connectivity and can monitor and record over 450 channels in a single rack U mainframe. The intuitive DAC Express graphical interface allows users to quickly set up EX1200 scan sequences, customize displays, and export acquired data to Excel or MATLAB.
