Portable Signal Conditioning Option for DSPCon DataFlex-1000/A

Posted by Ken Cheung in Industrial on Thursday, November 12, 2009

The DSPCon DataFlex-1000 and DataFlex-1000A are now available with fully-integrated, built-in signal conditioning. Effectively eliminating the cost and need to purchase and carry a multitude of separate, plug-in signal conditioning modules, the new software-driven option provides comprehensive, flexible signal conditioning support for a broad range of applications. It is compatible with all DataFlex-1000 and DataFlex-1000A models, is self-calibrating, and designed to handle most common strain gauges, RTDs, accelerometers, IEPE sensors and voltage output devices, easily and cost-effectively.

DSPCon DataFlex-1000/A Features

  • Unique touch-screen control
  • Modular and expandable
  • Flexible signal inputs/outputs including Ethernet, IRIG-B, analog monitor channel and audio annotation. 10 MHz reference input
  • IRIG-B time code recording with real-time display and output during replay
  • Produces and accepts a variety of data formats including DATX, CATS, UFF-58, EDAS RAW and others
  • Compatible with and a replacement for many popular recorder models
  • Spreadsheet configuration option
  • Optional software provides functionality of multiple, traditional laboratory instruments without the bulk or cost
  • Full graphical replay tool provided for digital replay and flexible analysis of data
  • Infinite, lossless recording capability with unique, “change-on-the-fly”, “hot -swappable” digital media functionality improves operational efficiency through reduced number of tape transfers
