Unlock Precision with CompactDAQ: The Ultimate Data Acquisition Solution

What is CompactDAQ?

CompactDAQ systems collect and deliver the data validation you need to meet test requirements at any distance, in any environment. These portable, customizable solutions—made of data acquisition modules that can synchronize measurements across a network—help you digitize data closer to sensors, minimizing noise and simplifying cabling in the field.

Pick from more than 70 high-quality C Series I/O modules with built-in sensor- or signal-specific conditioning. Mix and match to build an accurate and repeatable system that meets any measurement needs.

Expand and distribute your system with Ethernet-compatible CompactDAQ chassis to take µs-synchronized measurements across multiple chassis and in distributed setups.

Move with ease between lab and field with CompactDAQ’s rugged features, designed to withstand operating temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C and up to 30 g of shock. Expand to extreme environments with IP67-rated FieldDAQTM devices.

Develop a custom data- logging application with .NET, C#, Python, or LabVIEW, or use FlexLogger™ application software to quickly configure your system and log and view data.

Why Choose CompactDAQ?

CompactDAQ is a cost-effective approach to benchtop measurement. Pair sensor-specific, conditioned I/O modules with software optimized for DAQ applications.

Best for

• High-channel-count distributed DAQ applications 
• Benchtop test and measurement 
• Mixed sensor measurements 

CompactDAQ System Components

In a CompactDAQ system, a chassis is connected to your PC through USB or Ethernet, and then populated with one or more conditioned I/O modules for direct sensor connectivity. Controller variants are available to run a Windows or real-time OS for stand-alone operation.

Chassis

Built for accurate, conditioned measurements, you can use CompactDAQ chassis to perform mixed-measurement data acquisition all within one synchronized I/O system. CompactDAQ chassis feature USB or Ethernet connectivity and are available with different slot counts to provide the right amount of I/O for various applications. You can pair your system with the right software to customize how you acquire, analyze, present, and manage your measurement data.

Modules

With more than 60 C Series I/O modules for nearly any sensor type, quickly design a custom hardware setup optimized for size, cost, and performance. C Series modules are high-quality input and output modules that provide signal conditioning and analog-to-digital conversion for your CompactDAQ system. These hot-swappable modules plug directly into your chassis, making it simple to build a system tailored for your specific test requirements.
