The new DAQ interfacing unit
brings the convenience of USB 2.0
connectivity to Kistler’s DynoWare
data acquisition system. The unit
provides a flexible interface between
piezo-electric sensors and the
Windows based DynoWare data
acquisition and evaluation software.

The compact DAQ unit supports
up to two multi-channel charge
amplifiers with a sampling rate of up
to 1000kS/s, depending on the total
number of channels. The system
integrates a 28 channel, 16-bit
analogue to digital converter (ADC)
for high resolution sampling, trigger
functions and an RS-232 interface to
control the charge amplifiers and
signal conditioners.

It provides an easy to install method
of interfacing piezoelectric measuring
chains and associated charge
amplifiers and signal conditioners
with the DynoWare software
running on a PC under Windows
Vista or Windows 7.
