DAQ-System with DynoWare Acquisition and Evaluation Software Offers High Sampling Rate and USB Connection

Kistler has developed its new data acquisition (DAQ) system Type 5697A… for recording data in R&D laboratory applications. It is suitable for acquiring and evaluating up to 28 channels at a high sampling rate . The system is supported by data acquisition and evaluation software DynoWare Type 2825A...

The acquisition box, which holds the HASP key (dongle) with runtime license, controls the charge amplifier or signal conditioner directly via RS-232C interface. A USB 2.0 interface makes the system independent of PCI and PCMCIA interfaces. Power is supplied via a robust Binder connector. Measurements can be started remotely via the D-sub connector incorporated in the acquisition box.

The new version of DynoWare is designed primarily for measuring forces with dynamometers or single- or multicomponent sensors. It includes different functions for online visualization, signal evaluation and calculation, individual documentation and saving of configuration and measurement data. It configures and controls all Kistler laboratory charge amplifiers and signal conditioners, now also including single-channel charge amplifier Type 5018A… and multichannel amplifier Type 5080A… . DynoWare runs under Windows® Vista and Windows® 7.
