The SQ1600 universal Squirrel data logger reliably and accurately measures inputs from a wide range of sensors making it suitable for many different applications.
Telemetry system provides wireless acquisition
The new Grant Telemetry System allows remote siting of licence exempt wireless sensors where cabling systems prove impractical or costly and is ideal for temporary or permanent installations.
16Mbyte of onboard memory (capable of taking almost 2 million readings) along with multiple ADCs for subsecond logging and concurrent sampling make the new Squirrel ideal for use in applications such as manufacturing and process industries, science and quality assurance.
As well as the 16 differential analogue channels there are two additional high voltage inputs that measure 60V DC - useful for automotive applications where new 42V battery systems are used.
All this, according to Grant, comes at a much lower cost per channel than other similar systems.
The SQ2040 is portable, lightweight and easy to use.
It can be used as a stand-alone data acquisition system and can be connected via USB or RS232 serial ports for faster download of data.
For extra mobility the SQ2040 has an easy-access memory slot which accepts standard MMC cards.
This allows any operator on site to download data or reprogram the logger's parameters, by simply swapping memory cards.
For convenience and speed of use the new Squirrel has been designed to have up to six preconfigured programmable setups that can be easily selected from the logger's front panel.
Setups can also be changed in the field from the front panel by an operator without a PC.
The SQ2040 supports Ethernet, landline and GSM wireless communications providing global access from any site to a centrally located system for convenient and prompt supply of data.
The new SQ2040 also comes with SquirrelView, an easy to use setup and analysis software package.
