DAC Express software is one of the most powerful data recording/logging software packages available. Setup, monitor and record test setups in minutes.

Combine the DAC Express Environment with VTI Hardware to Cover Any Application.

Our intuitive, easy-to-use GUI lets you quickly build flexible, high-performance systems with repeatable accuracy.

Data Logger Configuration

The simple name understates its power. Focusing on low-speed measurements such as temperature, strain, and more, the data-to-disk transfer rates of greater than 400 kSa/sec (for multiple modules) can be maintained while on-line monitoring displays show key values for the operator.

Sometimes you need more than just analog data. If your job requires recording digital states, relay settings, shaft rpm, pulse train rates, or similar parameters in addition to analog signals, this system is the answer. You can easily configure a mix of channel types.

Structural Strain Measurements

Stress and fatigue testing of large structures have special needs. VTI's solution provides structural test engineers with the performance needed for these large scale tests. The Ethernet controlled 48-channel, high-performance remote strain gauge measurement unit offers built-in calibration and 24-bit resolution providing very high data resolution and accuracy. Ethernet control allows for remote operation reducing cable lengths and the RJ-45 connector reduces transducer connector costs.

The VTI solution also supports TEDS or smart transducers to further improve system accuracy and reduce cable connection errors. The flexible VTI units support 1/4, 1/2, and full bridge configurations through software reconfiguration, eliminating the need change hardware configuration to support mixed transducer types. VTI units can be easily connected together using the VXI trigger bus for synchronized measurements.

Combined Dynamic and Static Measurements

Combining high-speed measurements of noise or vibration signals and low-speed measurements of temperature, strain, and more, this is the workhorse system of its class. High-speed sample rates can be set up to 196.6 kSa/sec/ch. Low speed scanned sample rates can be set up to 1.25 kSa/sec/ch for 64 channels. In the standard configuration, all data goes to the host PC hard drive. For higher data transfer rates, using the optional VXI data disk, the high and low-speed data streams go to separate disks, ensuring continuous data rates of up to 9.25 MSa/sec for high-speed measurements and more than 400 kSa/sec for low-speed measurements.
