Compact data acquisition system includes GPS

New from Gould Nicolet Technologies, the C-DAQ compact data acquisition system provides up to 96 channels of traditional analogue inputs coupled with GPS position and time.

New from Gould Nicolet Technologies, the C-DAQ compact data acquisition system provides synchronised CANbus data frames, up to 96 channels of traditional analogue inputs coupled with GPS position and time in a ruggedised low-power portable system.

The CANbus is used to add an unlimited number of 16-channel external distributed thermocouple modules to acquire hundreds of temperature inputs in addition to the analogue inputs and GPS data.

C-DAQ uses Compact Flash for removable mass storage, providing hundreds of megabytes storage in a 36 x 43 x 5mm form factor.

Compact Flash technology is used in digital cameras and hence is readily available and inexpensive.

Data stored on the Compact Flash cards can be transferred to a notebook computer quickly with the PCMCIA adapter.

Onboard processors provide real-time data reduction including FFT, Rainflow, time at a level, level crossing and triggered burst recordings maximising the Compact Flash memory.

The C-DAQ online data reduction, low power consumption and convection cooling are ideal specifications for unattended testing with long time duration.

C-DAQ features programmable signal conditioners for strain, temperature, pressure, voltage ICP accelerometers and digital signal conditioning modules which can be mixed and matched depending on the specific testing requirements.

The rugged construction performance up to 100g coupled with wireless communications returning the data makes it ideal for mobile or remote and unfriendly environments.
