QuantumX MX1601 Product Description

Powerful performance: Reliable and precise

The MX1601 is compact and easy to integrate, in addition, it is convincing through its high measurement quality:

  • Every channel has a 24-bit Delta Sigma A/D converter. Moreover, all channels are electrically isolated.
  • The amplifier offers sample rates up to 19.2 kS per channel and a bandwidth of up to 3 kHz.
  • A working standard calibration certificate stored in the instrument guarantees quality and traceability.

Flexible, modular and expandable

The MX1601 is fully integrated in the QuantumX family and can also be operated in combination with other modules. An individual data acquisition system, scaled to the respective requirements, can be easily set up. Furthermore, the MX1601 also proves its flexibility when individual, customized connectors need to be assembled in a control cabinet. The MX1601 universal amplifier is the ideal solution for high channel counts.

Easy to use thanks to worldwide unique software support

QuantumX users benefit from a powerful software package. The free QuantumX-Assistant control software sets standards in terms of ease of use. catman®AP measurement software and many other tools offer ideal options for processing your measurement data. The software package provides programmers with LabVIEW* and .NET libraries.

Universal application

MX1601 allows multiple use and optimally suits a wide range of applications involving component and subassembly testing in the following industries:

  • Automotive
  • Aviation
  • Railway
  • Marine
  • Mechanical engineering

Advanced Plug and Measure - connect and start measuring

Automatic transducer and sensor identification via TEDS permits fast configuration. You save both time and money. This is how it works: The TEDS module can be installed in the transducer housing, in the cable or in the connector. It comprises an electronic data sheet which enables the measuring amplifier to be set up automatically. The TEDS protocol is started via a plug identification in the transducer plug. Channel configuration is then automatically started. Both Ethernet TCP/IP and FireWire are available as communication interfaces.

Software

Software

catman®EASY/AP

catman®EASY/AP is the professional tool for measurement engineers and supports parameterization within few seconds using an extensible sensor database. The integrated TEDS editor enables reading and writing of TEDS data on a channel - for real Advanced Plug & Measure. catman®EASY/AP facilitates building up of user and visualization levels and features comprehensive analysis options. Graphical parameterization of the start and end conditions for test and measurement tasks is easy. The integrated formula editor allows on-line calculation of virtually any channel - without programming. The measured data can be saved in different formats, for example BIN, RPCIII, MAT, ASCII or XLS for analysis at any time.

QuantumX Assistant

The free QuantumX Assistant provides full access to your QuantumX system. The software ensures easy parameterization of all inputs and outputs. TEDS data can be read or written.

QuantumX driver package

The free QuantumX driver package allows integration into LabVIEWTM or proprietary software using .NET API (C++, C#, VB.NET).

NEW: QuantumX CANape driver

The QuantumX CANape driver enables the flexible QuantumX data acquisition system to be easily integrated into the CANape software tool from Vector Informatik. CANape handles communication with the electronic control unit as well as the key tasks such as data acquisition, calibration and diagnosis. QuantumX facilitates integration of additional transducers and sensors - in parallel and synchronously. The QuantumX amplifiers' universal functionality combined with the CANape driver make the system the ideal solution for functional optimization in test benches and road tests.

Integrated web server

The web server integrated in every module visualizes the measured data in any web browser on any computer or tablet PC - without software installation.

DIAdemTM driver

The DIAdemTM driver permits direct integration into this analysis tool.
