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.
With its ultracompact size, intuitive graphical display and very easy configuration, the new Squirrel SQ2010 is ready to use straight from the box.
The rapid setup is achieved via its integral four button operator interface - giving accurate (better than 0.1%) and reliable results within minutes of switching on.
The Squirrel SQ2010 also boasts excellent battery life for unattended logging.
This highly flexible, multipurpose logger has four differential (or eight single ended) analogue input channels to measure current, voltage, resistance and temperature, and eight event inputs.
All eight event inputs can either be logged or used as triggers to automatically start or stop logging.
The onboard memory can store up to 1.8 million readings as well as retain up to six separate logger configurations.
The unit is able to fulfil many data logging needs, including more demanding applications requiring up to 10 readings per second on one channel.
The Squirrel SQ2010 also features two pulse rate/counter inputs (one at 64kHz, one at up to 100Hz), two alarm/relay outputs, and a high specification 24bit analogue to digital convertor to facilitate concurrent sampling.
The new logger is powered from internal cells, an external power supply or via USB connection.
The onboard RS232 communications can be connected to a modem, a wireless interface or an Ethernet convertor to facilitate system networking and the remote transmission of data.
SquirrelView setup and download software for a PC is provided as part of the system to enable users to export stored data to a chosen PC based application.
The Squirrel SQ2010 is compatible with Grant's comprehensive range of temperature probes and with commercially available sensors for measuring a variety of physical parameters.
Grant's portfolio of Squirrel accessories includes protective enclosures and communications and networking peripherals (Wi-Fi, GSM and Ethernet options).
