Here almost 150 measuring channels are used in a test system:
- 10 x IEPE with 5 x Q.bloxx A101
- 24 x current with 3 x Q.bloxx A108
- 12 x Pt100 with 3 x Q.bloxx A107
- 96 x SG with 12 x Q.bloxx A116
- Multiple digital I/Os
The measured data is recorded at a sample rate of 10 kHz. A data logger was configured in the Q.station test controller that records the conditioned and raw data. The recorded data is transferred to a SQL database using the test.node server software.
At present, four test systems are being built; with additional systems being planned. Testing is performed in cooperation with our Danish partner IPC Teknik ApS.
