Daytronic releases portable data acquisition instrument

Product Type: Work tracking/mobile computing

Manufacturer: Daytronic

Daytronic Corporation today announced the release of MeasuringPAD, its new portable data acquisition instrument to the worldwide market. This rugged hand-held instrument can be used in a wide range of manufacturing, laboratory, plant operations, and quality control applications. Rapidly collecting, monitoring, and displaying multiple sensor inputs, MeasuringPAD is ideal for troubleshooting, maintenance, process tuning, fault recording, trend analysis, and much more. Configured and operated through an easy-to-use graphical interface, MeasuringPAD continuously scans all active inputs, digitizing with 16-bit A/D while checking for limit-violation triggers and refreshing its memory buffer at 10 kHz per input.

“Our customers have been asking for a small but powerful data acquisition instrument that can be used throughout a facility for maintenance, troubleshooting, and even energy cost-reduction programs,” said Matt Vagedes, Daytronic's General Manager. “MeasuringPAD provides that versatility in an affordable 4 pound unit equipped with a color touch screen, automated setup system with self-discoverable pods, and a range of interchangeable memory cards. In short, we have designed this new unit so that even the novice user can immediately begin collecting and evaluating high speed data.”

MeasuringPAD provides live readout of up to sixteen differential analog inputs and up to eight logic-level digital inputs. As numerical measurements are monitored for exact conformance to user-entered setpoints, the vivid color-coded status display lets you size up your test or process at a glance. To ensure true “finished-answer” readability, analog signals are easily scalable to desired engineering units. Convenient input “pods” allow fast and easy hookup of machine- or process-dedicated sensors — including DC/AC Low and High Voltage sources, DC/AC Low Current sources, and most Thermocouple types. Up to eight internal cross-channel math calculations can also be set up to display and monitor additional process variables such as horsepower, efficiency, and corrected flow — plus signal max/min and average values. Multichannel display options include bargraph, trending of up to four timeplotting parameters, oscilloscope view, and discrete Fourier transform for harmonic analysis.
