iTestSystem Application: MultiDAQ
MultiDAQ is a configurable general data logging and real-time data viewing application for iTestSystem (iTS). An intuitive user interface allows test technicians and engineers to choose sensor channels, synchronize DAQ hardware, change sample rates, setup input data filters, configure data file triggering, and manage automated data file naming. Once configured, MultiDAQ provides graphical, tabular, and…

Sound & Vibration DAQ Tools: NI-9231 Module
When measuring noise and vibration levels, our engineers use the NI-9231 sound and vibration module, a CompactDAQ chassis and a Laptop running iTestSystem for data logging and analysis. The NI-9231 module is an updated, higher channel count version of the NI-9234 module. The NI-9231 is an 8 channel, 51.2 kS/s/channel, -5 V to 5 V,…

Engineering Data Acquisition Tools: NI-9236 Strain Module
The most common strain gauge installation configuration is a 350 ohm, quarter bridge. Quarter bridge installations a generally the easiest and most economical installation for determining structural strain levels. In the quarter bridge configuration a single element strain gauge is mounted in the principle axial or bending strain direction. One tool that our engineers and…
