CompactDAQ is a cost-effective approach to benchtop measurement. Pair sensor-specific, conditioned I/O modules with software optimized for DAQ applications.
Best for
High-channel-count distributed DAQ applications
Benchtop test and measurement
Mixed sensor measurements
In a CompactDAQ system, a chassis is connected to your PC through USB or Ethernet, and then populated with one or more conditioned I/O modules for direct sensor connectivity. Controller variants are available to run a Windows or real-time OS for stand-alone operation.
Built for accurate, conditioned measurements, you can use CompactDAQ chassis to perform mixed-measurement data acquisition all within one synchronized I/O system. CompactDAQ chassis feature USB or Ethernet connectivity and are available with different slot counts to provide the right amount of I/O for various applications. You can pair your system with the right software to customize how you acquire, analyze, present, and manage your measurement data.
