32-Ch. DAQ System in 3U Chassis is Perfect for PC-Based Testing.
(Lockport, Illinois) - KineticSystems Co.'s DAQ 720 is a compact, programmable 32-channel signal conditioning system with 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) resolution, designed to function as a rugged, high performance, portable data acquisition
system for in-vehicle or production line testing. System features include: acceptance of a wide variety of signal inputs, aggregate sampling rate of up to 32k samples/second, end-to-end calibration, Ethernet connectivity to a PC or notebook computer, and comprehensive ready-to-run user-friendly software for setup, data collection, data display and processing. Weighing 10 - 20 pounds (depending on number of modular slots filled) and with a small footprint (5.25" high, 17.68" wide, 12/83"deep), it can easily perform in bench top, rack mount, vehicle or field environments. Compatible with Windows®, Mac or Linux OS, the software will export data to LabVIEW, MATLAB(R), DADiSP(TM) and
other programs accepting ASCII file imports. The DAQ 720 also offers optional local data storage using a CompactFlashTIl module for total operating independence. Priced under $20,000, including software, the company claims no other test/measurement
product exhibits the ease of use, accuracy, resolution, expandability, portability, turnkey nature and affordability of the DAQ 720.
With auto-configuration on power-up and a simple user interface, the DAQ 720 can be collecting and storing data with just two mouse clicks. Software flexibility includes global-channel as well as per-channel programming, hosting up to 10 different
pre-configured user settings or an infinite amount using a host computer.
Probable tests for which the DAQ 720 will be used will range from structural/stress tests and engine performance to end-of-production line product performance verification. Common measurements taken by the DAQ 720 will include flow, noise/vibration/harshness (NVH), pressure, positioning, strain, temperature, and voltage.
"The DAQ 720 was developed in response to the growing interest we discovered in several markets to provide a high performance 32-channel signal conditioning system for a PC." Said Pat Cassady, Executive Vice President of KineticSystems Co., LLC.
"We see this product having additional interfaces in the near future, such as USB, fiber-optic or wireless, and serving as a platform for future products with additional functionality. In fact, a half-rack version accommodating 16 channels of signal
conditioning is already under development."
