GEN2i - Data recorder with unique features and leading-edge usability

GEN2i is a new-generation measurement instrument which is as powerful and easy to use as a modern mobile device. It empowers you with the freedom and flexibility to record data wherever you are, and however you want. Its huge range of application possibilities further extends the capabilities of its legendary predecessor - the Nicolet VISION*.

GEN2i, the revolutionary new portable data recorder, offers ...New! Analysis, Reports and Exports included!

  • incomparably powerful features
  • an exciting touchscreen user interface
  • up to 64 input channels, fully configurable to your needs
  • both continuous direct-to-disk as well as fast transient recording

Product Description GEN2i

With GEN2i you gain total control of your measurement data. You can access all data handling functions with a single touch of the large, intuitive touchscreen. The GUI is simple and self-explanatory: GEN2i enables you to start measuring immediately.

Zoom data

GEN2i gives you an expanded view of your data, to closely scrutinize a specific section, in any scale you want. Simply mark an area of interest with your finger on the touchscreen to zoom in.

Acquire data

To begin recording all you do is press the START button. To end it you just press STOP. Yes ... data recording is this easy with GEN2i!

Shift through data

You can shift through your data to inspect or to find areas of interest by just touching the trace and dragging it in any direction you want to go.

Browse different datasets

To review multiple datasets you have all the essential recording controls at your fingertips: Start/Stop and Next/Previous. And you can playback your data at multiple speeds in forward or reverse modes.

Flexibility and performance out of the box

The GEN2i is ready to run immediately after being unpacked and offers many powerful possibilities for your measurement tasks. Depending on the selected acquisition mode – continuous recording or triggered sweeps – data is either stored on disk directly (streaming to disk) or first buffered in high speed RAM to offer transient recorder speed without any throughput limitations. The separately shielded housing for the DAQ portion eliminates any noise or crosstalk issues between the PC and the DAQ section.

Proven quality:

Modular signal conditioning

Select the input module that fits your application from a choice of 23 modules! The GEN2i can hold one or two acquisition boards, which can be freely combined. Besides the basic isolated voltage inputs, GEN2i can also be equipped with isolated strain gage, accelerometer signal conditioners or ultra high speed transient modules offering up to 100 MS/s.
