SomatXR Data Acquisition System: Rugged and Extremely Flexible for Mobile Testing and Test Benches

The SomatXR data acquisition system enables extremely reliable and precise operation in harsh environments and is protected from humidity, dust, shock, and vibration. The modular DAQ system can be used in a variety of applications such as mobile vehicle testing, stationary measurements, and structural health monitoring. The modules are suitable for operation in a wide temperature range and can be easily and flexibly combined, in centralized or distributed configurations. SomatXR and the catman® data acquisition software enable you to interactively perform testing and measuring tasks, and always have a complete overview and be in control. It is, however, also possible to select the autonomous black-box recording mode to ensure effective and reliable long-term tests.

Extremely rugged

  • Temperature range: -40 to +80 °C (dew-point proof)
  • IP65/IP67 degree of protection (dust and water)
  • Vibration- and shockproof in compliance with MIL-STD202G (10 g and 75 g respectively)
  • High signal quality owing to the use of carrier-frequency technology
  • Reduced signal interference due to the positioning of the measuring amplifier close to the measuring points

Easy to use

  • Easy parameterization and visualization of measured data using HBM's catman software
  • Interactive or unattended black-box recording mode
  • Compact and portable
  • Open to the integration with many more software programs as LabVIEW, Visual Studio.NET or CANape

Modular and flexible

  • A modular system, including data recorder, gateways, universal and bridge amplifier, etc.
  • Scalable to many different small and major measuring tasks
    check out all SomatXR topologies
  • Different transducers and interfaces can be integrated using a universal input
  • Can be freely combined with QuantumX

Recording Options

SomatXR - Your Individual Data Acquisition System

The modular architecture of the SomatXR DAQ allows you to implement your own measurement system – with a data recorder and catman DAQ software or with a connected PC and catman data acquisition software. In addition, SomatXR modules can be integrated into test bench applications or ECU optimization software in various ways and flexibly combined with QuantumX modules.

Typical Applications

Vehicle Testing

  • Mobile data acquisition of load on mechanical components on bad road surfaces or track (Road Load Data Acquisition = RLDA)
  • Testing of vehicle dynamics (ride and handling), functional and brake testing
  • Overall vehicle or track monitoring (e.g. railroad tracks)

Railroad Testing

  • Distributed measurements on passenger and freight trains with multiple railroad cars
  • Mobile data acquisition in rail transport such as test and acceptance runs
  • Monitoring of complete trains or track sections

Bench Testing

  • Test benches for the drivetrain/powertrain
  • Pressure, temperature, and torque measurement
  • Improving efficiency and protecting energy resources

All the modules can be individually combined with each other.
