Multifunctional Measurement Technology - IMTRON Offers Two Digital Measurement Systems / universal amplifiers / modular amplifiers

For simple and comfortable PC-based data acquisition IMTRON is offering a variety of hardware and software. There are two computer controlled systems available: DASIM (extremely universal amplifiers for many sensors) and SIQUAD (modular amplifiers with excellent cost/performance ratio).

The 2- resp. 4-channel amplifiers are developed for the various sensors in test benches of the automotive industry, machine manufacturing and installation, research and development.
They offer sensor excitation, isolation, signal conditioning, analog and/or digital data acquisition with highest precision. All standard 19“ chassis are laid out for either mobile (DC supply 9 - 36 V) or stationary use (AC supply 110 - 230 V). They have an Ethernet interface for data acquisition and parameter setting, as well as a CAN socket for access to a CAN bus.
Parameter setting of the amplifiers can also be done via a serial (RS 232 / RS 485) interface. Several chassis can be interlinked synchronously by the Ethernet interface to up to 600 channels. 2 to 16 amplifier bays are available for both systems in one 19“ housing or 84 TE rack.

Especially designed for distributed applications and/or a few channels, the SIQUAD line offers compact modules and miniature systems with 2 resp. 3 amplifier units. The amplifiers are integral part with the compact modules; with the miniature systems they can be exchanged by the user.

Distributed Applications
There are 2 variations of the compact modules: 8 channels (optional 16 for TC) with back panel CAN interface, or 8 (16) channels with front panel CAN and back panel RS 232 interface. The type of amplifier has to be specified when ordering as it is built in firmly by factory. Housing types are flange, DIN-Rail, or box.
Mini systems have 2 (box) housing sizes for 2 or 3 amplifier units with CAN and Ethernet interface on the front panel. Amplifiers can be easily plugged in and out by the user as required.

Parameter setting of the amplifiers is done with DaSoft via the serial or (if available) Ethernet interface. Data acquisition can be simply done already via the CAN interface with a suitable data logger. Via the Ethernet interface comfortable data acquisition and online visualisation of measurement data can be performed PC-based with DAQSoft. Drivers for other measurement software like DASYLab, DIAdem, and LabVIEW are optional available.

An extensive functional library “DataEngine.dll“ is available for integrating the systems into an own data acquisition software or environment. It transmits triggers and measurement data, and receives the other way parameters for the central unit like sample rates, trigger conditions and information about the selected channels.
