The 48-channel EX1629 sets a new standard of performance for stress and fatigue
testing. Independent 24-bit A/D converters on each channel, extensive software selectable
filtering, and independent signal conditioning paths provide exceptional accuracy
and reliability.

Highest Accuracy. Lowest Overall Hardware Costs
The compact modular EX1629 delivers superior measurement accuracy at a cost-effective
price per channel. This single instrument can perform both high-quality static and
high-speed strain gage measurements in critical test applications. The EX1629’s
flexible design makes it easy to reuse in future test programs resulting in the
highest return on your hardware investment and keeping overall test hardware costs
down.
Any Channel. Any Bridge or Voltage Input
The EX1629 features software-configured strain and voltage conditioning and excitation
in a single 19-inch, 3 1/2 inch-high rackmount enclosure. This flexibility allows
the connection of quarter, half, full bridge or voltage inputs to any channel, minimizing
setup time and wiring changes. No need to reconfigure hardware to make measurement
changes. Performance and measurement integrity are enhanced with independent bridge
excitation per channel. Bridge excitation sources are not shared between channels;
single channel failures do not affect other channels.
Easily Combine and Measure 10,000+ Channels
For large data acquisition applications, multiple EX1629s are easily synchronized
together in a master-slave relationship via the LXI external trigger bus. Easy strain
gage wiring and conditioning for both static load and vibration testing greatly
simplify high channel count test setup.
Reduce Errors and Field Wiring Costs
Integrated Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) provides positive transducer
identification, eliminating cabling errors. Extensive testing has qualified the
standard RJ-45 telecom connector and cable as the ideal low-cost physical connection
for strain gages. This cuts cost and makes connections quicker.
Ethernet Interface Ideal for Distributed Environments
The EX1629 can be placed at strategic points throughout the test cell minimizing
cabling and setup time. For comprehensive, programming-free data recording setup,
management and viewing, use EX1629A instruments with one of VTI’s full-featured,
turnkey software solutions – DAC Express or VTIcoda.
Simplified Installation, Setup and Control
An onboard, web-accessible user interface allows you to instantly verify communications
and instrument functionality, while VXI
plug&play drivers provide a
familiar application programming interface to further reduce integration and program
development time. For comprehensive, programming-free data recording setup, management
and viewing, use EX1629 instruments with one of VTI’s full-featured, turnkey software
solutions – DAC Express or VTIcoda.
