Problem
The helicopter is a complex machine, with a multitude of systems to be tested and qualified; consequently, the test lab has a range of very different test benches. It is an advantage to have a DAQ system that can operate in a range of test applications, and under numerous test scenarios rationalize multiple channels of data in a single file.
Solution
HBK identified QuantumX as the ideal DAQ system for Sikorsky's testing needs. This system is modular, scalable and with a flexible architecture, meets the requirements for an easily- and fast-reconfigurable system that supports an extremely wide range of sensors and transducers.
Result
The flexibility and scalability of the QuantumX data acquisition system from HBK now allows Sikorsky to use a single DAQ system to satisfy all their testing needs. The rapid reconfiguration capability of the QuantumX data acquisition system is ideal for use with all the test setups at Sikorsky.
