QuantumX data acquisition system

September 2010 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Many test and measurement tasks require measured physical parameters to be output as a standardised voltage. For these applications, HBM now offers the MX878 output module for the flexible and powerful QuantumX data acquisition system. The output module has eight analogue voltage outputs that can be individually configured, to enable system signals to be output as scaled and filtered values in the range of ±10 V. All signals supplied by the amplifiers can be used as signal sources. This simplifies individual monitoring or forwarding of system signals such as measured values.

In addition, the module offers integrated local intelligence that enables measured values to be analysed or set off against each other in real-time using algebraic operations. The module also features functions for the computation of peak or RMS value. Computed signals can be made available in real-time and output directly.

The MX878 is an ideal complement to the powerful amplifiers of the QuantumX series. The functions or outputs can be configured directly using QuantumX Assistant software, LabView VIs or the user’s individual programs via the integrated QuantumX programming interface (API) for .NET or COM. catma-nAP software provides comprehensive options for configuration, data acquisition, visualisation and analysis.

Typical fields of application of the new MX878 QuantumX module include for test bench applications involving the conversion of various transducer signals.
