DaqPRO
is battery operated and is capable of sampling, processing and
displaying measurements without connecting to a computer. Designed to
serve the needs of professional data loggers, DaqPRO is a
professional, cost-effective, compact and stand-alone data logging
system that can be used with a wide variety of applications. This
16-bit, high-resolution, eight-channel data logger offers a graphic
LCD displays and analysis functions for measuring voltage, current
and temperature in real-time.
With
its high resolution and fast Analog to Digital converter (ADC),
DaqPRO meets the majority of data logging requirements in most
industrial applications. Its unique ability to display measured
values and analyze them in real-time on a graphical interface
minimizes the need to download collected data to a computer for
further analysis.
Every
DaqPRO unit is embedded with a unique serial number and can be
loaded with a descriptive comment for safe identification.
DaqPRO
5300 includes eight input channels for measuring voltage, current
and temperature. Selectable ranges for each input are 0-20mA, 0-50mV,
0-10V, large variety of NTC, PT-100 and thermocouple temperature
sensors including internal temperature, pulse counter (Input 1 only)
and up to 20 user defined sensors. The inputs use pluggable screw
terminal blocks for easy connection.
An
internal clock and calendar keep tracks of the time and date of
every sample measured.
DaqPRO
can automatically activate external alarm events when data is
outside a specified range.
DaqPRO
is very easy to use because all its functions are broken down into
an 8 icon menu, its four buttons can browse every menu and execute
any of the commands.
A
rechargeable battery powers the data logger, which shuts off
automatically after 15 minutes have passed since the time of the last
data recording, the time the last button was pressed, or the time the
last communication was made with the PC.
The
DaqPRO system also comes with the powerful DaqLab software. When the
DaqPRO is connected to a PC, live displays can be viewed at rates of
up to 100/s, and automatic downloads can be carried out at higher
rates. The WINDOWS based software can display the data in graphs,
tables or meters, can analyze data with various mathematical tools,
or export data to a spreadsheet.
DaqLab
also enables you to setup DaqPRO and to send advanced commands such
as alarm settings, triggering conditions and text notes

DaqPRO
provides a simple and straightforward tool for defining up to 20
custom sensors. Almost any 0 – 10V and 4 – 20mA sensor or
transducer is accepted by DaqPRO and its electrical units are
automatically scaled to meaningful user-defined engineering units.
The
sensor definitions are stored in DaqPRO’s memory and are added
to the sensors list. The sensor’s readings are displayed in the
user defined units both on DaqPRO’s LCD screen and DaqLab software.
Alarms
Users
can define minimum and maximum alarm levels for each input
individually. DaqPRO places a small alarm icon next to the
corresponding input readings and can switch alarm output if either
level is reached
DaqPRO
can trigger an external event (e.g. sound alarm, warning light or
oven) via an alarm output. This can switch loads of 25mA and up to
25VDC. The alarm output uses input channel 8, so only 7 input
channels will be available if the alrm output is required.
Rules
and Limitations
The
following are some rules and limitations you must take into account
when programming the DaqPRO, as DaqPRO integrates all programming
limitations automatically. DaqPRO will only allow the programming of
settings that comply with the rules below.
Sampling
rate:
Sampling
points:
Increasing
the number of active inputs limits the number of sampling points one
can choose. The following condition must be always satisfied:
Number
of samples x Active Inputs <= Memory
DaqPRO’s
memory is sufficient for 512,000 samples.
The
table below lists the maximum number of sampling point according to
the number of sensors:
