Overview

The DAQ518 Series are complete 18-channel multiplexed signal conditioning systems with a 16-bit resolution ADC and 10 BaseT Ethernet connectivity to a PC or laptop for setup, data display and processing. The ultra-compact 67.7mm (2.64”) high, 112mm (4.41”) wide, 220 mm (8.66”) deep fully enclosed chassis weigh just 1.13kg (2.5lbs), making them suitable for in-vehicle applications. The DAQ518 Series chassis can be powered from DC voltage sources ranging from 10-18 volts.

Power consumption is 18 watts for typical configurations. Local data storage is available via a CompactFlash™ module. Auto configuration on power-up provides stand-alone capability and along with the simple user interface makes data collection and storage a two-mouse click process.

The signal conditioning consists of 18 multiplexed differential input analog channels. There are 16 channels that can be configured with fixed 2-pole filters and fixed gains of 1/5 to 100. Filter options for these channels are available in a 1,2,5 progression from 10Hz to 1kHz. Filters and gain are configured in 8-channel groups. Input voltage ranges up to ±50 volts are supported. Channel inputs have over-voltage protection.
