Signal Modules

The SignalPro series, in combination with Quatech data acquisition adapters, allows the use of a desktop or laptop computer to directly monitor process, transducer and sensor input signals.

SignalPro is designed to work with Quatech's DAQ-1200 line of desktop data acquisition adapters, and with the entire PCMCIA data acquisition line.

The series includes board level signal conditioning modules for strain gauges, RTDs, universal current/voltage/high-voltage sensors, low/high/band-pass filters, simultaneous sample filter cards, thermocouples, accelerometers and a multi-purpose card for 5B modules. The cards are housed in a full 19" rack mount unit which holds up to 14 individual adapters, a half size tabletop enclosure which holds seven adapters, or as a portable unit which accommodates one adapter.

The number of channels in a single unit will vary according to the design of a particular signal conditioning module, however, both portable, tabletop and rack mount units may be expanded for a maximum of 256 channels per system.

All the components are software programmable, and are supported by the DaqEZ Windows-based, application software package. This needs no programming to perform a wide variety of data acquisition functions.

Also included in the software package is DAQDRIVE, a 32 bit universal software driver, which supports various programming languages including Microsoft C/C++, Borland C/C++, Quick Basic, and Turbo Pascal. Visual Basic support is available as an option with Quatech's VISUALDAQ.
