Overview
DATAXis a system solution providing signal conditioning and modular data acquisition capability for the PC. The DATAX System is composed of a rugged enclosed DATAX Box for easy modular connectivity, with a USB data acquisition function inside. With 16 slots for any combination of DAQ and PAD Modules, you can create virtually any kind of system imaginable. Just add your PC or laptop and the free Data Acquisition Omni CD TM software, and you have a complete customised data acquisition system, with great signal conditioning, isolation, and over-voltage input protec-tion. That’s the DATAX advantage! The DAQ and PAD plug-in modules adapt your data acquisition system to accept a wide variety of physical and electrical signals. No matter what physical or electrical phenomenon you need to capture, chances are there’s a DATAX module that can handle it! Strain, Pressure-sure, vibration, voltage, current, tempera-ture... whatever your needs. Plus 1000 V rms isolation, exceptionally low noise, and multiple range/filter selections on each plug-in module!

Extensive Software Support
The main ready-to-run software is the Scope Application Program, developed specifically for use with the DATAX System. Scope emulates three basic instruments: a simple oscillographic chart recorder, a data logger and a multi-channel oscilloscope. You can monitor data online and capture it to disk either manually or automatically based on trigger conditions. In addition, you can capture data to different files at different sample rates in both the chart recorder and scope modes simultaneously and at different sample rates. The intuitive GUI lets you point and click to perform measurement functions of your DATAX system.

Scope comes with the free Data Acquisition Omni CD, featuring all the software you need to use our data acquisition boards and develop applications. The Omni CD application software is based on DT-Open Layers

In addition to Scope, the Omni CD contains the following components:

  • DataAcq SDK is a Software Development Kit consisting of the necessary header files, libraries, example programs, and documentation to develop your own DT-Open Layers data acquisi-tion and control applications.
  • TestPoint Evaluation Package is drag-and-drop software for designing test, measurement and data acquisition applications that gives you all the capabilities of TestPoint Professional Development System. The CD includes video tutorials and program examples for ease in applying TestPoint without programming.
  • TestPoint Run-Time Data Acquisition Application was created using the TestPoint Professional Development System, and gives you access to all functions of the data acquisition board to collect, save, and display data. You can use the TestPoint Run-Time application for basic data acquisition functions of your Data Translation board. Using TestPoint Run-Time, you will get a sense of the power and flexibility of the software, and you can easily upgrade to the full TestPoint Professional

Data Acquisition Omni CD

Development System.

  • Quick DataAcq™ is a menu-driven, ready to run application, created using Data Translation’s DTx-EZ TM controls and Microsoft ® Visual Basic ® . Quick DataAcq allows you to verify the operation of your Data Translation board, collect A/D data, display data to the screen and save data to disk. The application source code is included. • Device Drivers for all Data Translation USB and PCI data acquisition boards, including the core DLLs, drivers, control panels, utility software, and documentation.

Easy Connection, Easy Control

The DATAX System is complete, portable, and easy to use. With one easy USB connection, it is clean, and every-thing is self-contained inside the enclosed protective case.

Choices For Your Application: DATAX Standard and DATAX Custom

DATAX Standard
The DATAX Standard is a pre-configured system.  It includes seven standard module: two voltage amplifiers, one high voltage, one bridge, one TRQ, and one thermocouple module. Customizable For Your Application If you choose, we will help you to create a DATAX Custom system with different combinations of DAQ and PAD modules to suit your specific application needs.  There are really no limitations on which modules can be installed in which slots.

DATAX Standard – comes with two DAQP-V-B modules, one DAQP-DMM, one DAQP-BRIDGE, one DAQP-uV, one DAQP-TRQ, and one DAQN-THERM module.

DATAX Custom – select your own modules. Both systems include the free Data Acquisition Omni CD for Windows 95/98/NT.
