SoMat eDAQlite
The eDAQlite is the ideal choice for small channel count applications where compactness and ruggedness are essential.
The SoMat eDAQlite is the go anywhere, test anything compact version of the SoMat eDAQ. Engineered using the same technology, the SoMat eDAQlite has similar leading-edge signal conditioning and a capacity to perform a broad range of on-board data processing, triggering, intelligent data storage, and complex computations.
Not every test utilizes hundreds of channels. SoMat eDAQ / SoMat eDAQlite customers can accomplish tests with both small and high channel counts using a single family of products. There is no learning curve, new software, or file formats; and systems can be seamlessly networked together.
The compact SoMat eDAQlite can be installed inconspicuously to collect data under discrete conditions; for example, behind a dashboard panel (see photo). Intelligent data storage collects relevant measurement data in condensed, manageable form - rather than gigabytes of results.
For customers just starting in testing, the SoMat eDAQlite has lower start-up costs, and can easily be expanded as your needs change and grow. Since all HBM SoMat systems are easy-to-use, set-up and operate, you will be up and running fast, successfully collecting data in the most challenging of environments.
