Enhanced PC-based DAQ system

1 April 2009 Test & Measurement

New acquisition and utility software has been introduced to add additional functionality and ease of use to the Yokogawa SL1000 PC-based data-acquisition system.

Extra functionality provided by the software includes the ability to link and synchronise multiple SL1000 units, new triggering and display capabilities, support for the Windows Vista operating system, waveform interpolation and CSV file conversion. In addition, improved user friendliness is provided by a number of enhancements to the setup, display and measurement operations.

The most significant feature of the new software is the ability to interconnect and synchronise up to eight SL1000 units, allowing simultaneous measurements on up to 128 channels. In such a configuration, one unit is allocated as the master for controlling functions such as start/stop, triggering and alarms.

The software also includes file transfer functions and other utilities which ease the handling and merging of measurement files from multiple synchronised units.

The software also enhances the user friendliness of the SL1000 by providing improved features such as scaling, icons, trigger adjustment, measurement settings and display modes.

The Yokogawa SL1000 is a PC-based data-acquisition unit designed to provide high-speed data logging and fast data transfer in electromechanical and power measurement applications. Featuring 100 MSps sampling on 16 channels and isolated inputs for high-voltage measurements, the SL1000 is also equipped as standard with easy-to-use logging and control software for quick start and setup.
