The rugged desktop units are available with either a USB or Ethernet (LXI) interface and provide from 8 up to 48 input channels with a dedicated 24-bit A/D converter for each channel. Sampling rates up to 10 Hz per channel can be achieved simultaneously over all 48 inputs. The Ethernet version additionally features a built-in web based server, which allows automatic monitoring of preset alarm limits as well as email notification.
The signals are attached through removable screw terminals on the front of the unit.
1000V channel-to-channel galvanic isolation guarantees maximum accuracy and signal integrity even in harsh industrial environments.
The measurement instruments include eight opto-isolated digital inputs (+3 to +28 Vdc) and eight opto-isolated digital outputs (±30 Vac or dc).
The VOLTpoint™ series ships with a ready-to-measure software application that is customised for the voltage measurement instruments. The software allows recording, viewing, analysing, saving and exporting up to 48 voltage signals—without writing any code. A wide choice of additional software tools and drivers is available, including IVI-COM drivers, .NET class libraries and software development kits.
Besides the new VOLTpoint™ series, Data Translation offers a range of temperature measurement instruments that also provide 48 inputs and a USB or Ethernet interface, and are designed for direct connection of thermocouples or RTDs.
