Designed for distributed networking, Daxus allows high-speed data
acquisition and logging to take place in one environment, such as on the
factory floor, while the data can be simultaneously read and analyzed in
a separate location. The technology is capable of stand-alone, stacked
or networked data acquisition. Data can be accessed wirelessly and
viewed in real-time on a PC or through the Daxus mobile app for
smartphone/tablet, available exclusively from Astro-Med. With its new
distributed networking capability, Astro-Med now can offer a data
acquisition system for new applications, including those in the
automotive, process monitoring and product testing markets.
“Astro-Med has set a new level of flexibility and performance for data
acquisition recording and analysis with Daxus,” said Jon Lee, National
Sales Manager. “Our innovative Daxus system offers high-speed
acquisition, wireless connectivity and smartphone/tablet accessibility –
all in a package that is not only portable but powerful as well. With up
to 32 channels, a 200k/second sample rate and a 500GB hard drive, test
engineers from the manufacturing plant to the laboratory will value
Daxus for its outstanding capabilities.”
Daxus acquires, processes and stores all data locally with no need for a
PC connection. Users can record just a few signals or hundreds of
parameters. Standing at just 4.7˝ tall x 12.8˝ wide (119mm tall x 324mm
wide) and weighing just 7 lbs. (3 kg.), Daxus is compact and tough
enough for virtually any environment.
Mobile Data Acquisition
Astro-Med designed Daxus to serve mobile users who want the convenience
and power of networked data capture. When users are away from Daxus,
they can view real-time waveform data from an ongoing acquisition or
review previously recorded data on their PC, smartphone or tablet.
Multiple Daxus units can be connected throughout large facilities for
time synchronization of events. Daxus units also can be controlled and
monitored from a central location via Ethernet or wireless networking.
The Daxus mobile app allows users access to their data via a wireless
connection for easy, real-time, remote analysis. Users also can set
mobile alerts and review recent captures for immediate troubleshooting.
Daxus PC Software
The Daxus PC software is intuitive. There is no programming required and
test setups can be done quickly to initiate data collection. The
software menus provide complete configuration capabilities. Daxus
software also includes powerful review, measurement and analysis
capabilities.
Some important features include the ability to express data in
user-assigned Engineering Units, a meter package for displaying screen
data in a graphical visual format and fully customizable waveform
displays.
The Daxus offers a number of built-in features including:
• Up to 32 channels per unit with multi-unit stacking for higher channel
counts
• 200k samples/second per channel with individual A/Ds for synchronous
data recording
• 500GB hard drive is standard and optional solid state drives are
available
