Dewesoft MINITAURs | Sistem Akuisisi Data

Gambaran Umum

Versatile 8-channel data acquisition system and data logger with cutting-edge signal conditioning at an attractive price with analog, counter, and CAN inputs.

NOTE: The MINITAURs data acquisition system has been discontinued because certain electronic components are no longer available. For similar applications, we recommend theSIRIUS R2 DAQ systemas the preferred replacement. It provides higher performance, greater flexibility, and long-term platform stability.

Affordable and Capable

When you need a universal data acquisition system with a built-in data processing computer, an SSD data logger with stellar specifications, and yet with a budget-friendly price tag, MINITAURs will not let you down.

But don’t get confused by a great price. The build quality is not compromised. MINITAURs is a rugged, compact, mobile DAQ system with cutting-edge signal conditioning.8 universal analog inputs with dual sigma-delta ADCs, 200 kHz sampling rate per channel, and 160 dB dynamic range.8 counter/encoder inputs equipped with SuperCounter technology.24 digital inputs and 1 high-speed CAN port.

It is an ideal solution for various automotive and mobile data acquisition applications. It will help you solve the most demanding test and measurement challenges.

Intuitive to Use

Using MINITAURs does not require any complex configuration setups or programming. Just connect any kind of display (check our rugged displays) and you are ready to start.

With plug-and-play functionality, smart sensors, and advanced TEDS support making measurements with MINITAURs is easier than riding a bike. You will get it right the first time and you will be ready to measure in no time.

Getting precise and graphically rich results is as easy as ever. Just drag and drop one of the many flexible visual displays and connect them to your channels. Voila! It works like magic.

SIRIUS® signal conditioning technology

Data acquisition systems are built around our world-class SIRIUS® signal conditioning technology and offer the same top-performing technologies:

• DualCoreADC® technology: high-dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

• SuperCounter® technology: high-speed synchronized angle and speed measurement.

• Galvanic isolation: channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation for best signal quality and safety.

Note: galvanic isolation does not apply to SIRIUS mini and MINITAURs instruments.

DualCoreADC® signal conditioning technology

The DualCoreADC®technology solves often-faced problems with signal measurement:

• signal input overload,

• noise, and

• artificial frequencies in the signal caused by aliasing.

The input signal can be higher than expected by the signal conditioner (out-of-range) and therefore clipped by the ADC. This will result in an incorrect measurement and will require you to repeat the test all over again.

DualCoreADC technology prevents these problems. Each channel amplifier has two A/D converters that measure the high and the low gain of the input signal in parallel. This results in the full possible measuring range of the sensor and prevents the signal from being clipped.

With DualCoreADC technology,SIRIUS data acquisition systems achieve more than 130 dB signal-to-noise ratioand more than 160 dB in dynamic range. This is 20x better than 24-bit DAQ systems and 20x less noise.

SuperCounters®: precise speed and angle measurement with counter and encoder sensors

Dewesoft data acquisition systems utilize a patented and registered trademark technology calledSuperCounter®.

Counter inputs can measure the RPM and angle of rotating machines. In comparison to standard counters, which only output integer numbers one sample later (e.g. 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4), the Dewesoft SuperCounter inputs are able to extract accurate values like 1.37, 1.87, 2.37, etc. fully synchronized for time and amplitude.

This is done by measuring the exact time of the rising edge of the signal with an additional counter. Our SuperCounter inputs work on a 102.4 MHz time base, independent of the current analog sampling rate.

Counter inputs are fully synchronized with analog, CAN bus, and other data sources to enable easy applications like balancing, order tracking, and torsional vibrations.

Synchronization

MINITAURs has different inputs such as analog, CAN, counter, encoder and digital. But it doesn’t stop there. With the power of included Dewesoft X software, you can easily acquire data from additional interfaces like GPS, Ethernet, Serial, PCM telemetry, and more.

Even though each data source can have different sampling rates, all your data will be perfectly synchronized down to few milliseconds.

Synchronized videocan be added for free. Dewesoft includes powerful video engine and has support for simple DirectX web cameras,high-speed video cameras that are fully synced to analog data, and also 3rd party thermal cameras.

Expandable

It is very easy to extend the channel count on MINITAURs DAQ system. Any Dewesoft USB data acquisition system like the SIRIUS DAQ system or DEWE-43A DAQ system can be connected into one of the six MINITAURs USB ports for additional analog, counter, encoder and/or CAN channels.

MINITAURs also features a built-in EtherCAT slave port which allows for easy connection of our EtherCAT devices like KRYPTON or SIRIUS.

Additional devices will be detected automatically and ready to use immediately without any complex configurations. You will never notice you are working with multiple devices. The system will act as one.

Integrated GNSS positioning with RTK correction

SBOX computers can optionally be equipped with a 10 Hz or 100 Hz GNSS receiver for precise position measurement applications. GNSS receivers can optionally also be configured to support RTK correction (Real-Time Kinematics).

GNSS receiver option will transform your data acquisition system and makes it ideal for precise position-based test and measurement applications. The RTK correction option will improve the positioning accuracy down to 1 cm.

SBOX with GNSS receiver will transform the data acquisition system into a powerful automotive data logger for advanced position-based test and measurement applications such as:

• Brake testing

• ADAS testing

• Pass-by-noise

• Vehicle dynamics

• Road load data

• and others.
