Overview

Measurement & Control Data Acquisition System

The Granite™6 DAQ is a powerful core component for your complete data acquisition system. The Granite 6 provides fast communication, low power requirements, built-in USB and Wi-Fi, modular design, and high analog input accuracy and resolution. It uses universal (U) terminals to allow a connection to virtually any sensor—analog, digital, or smart. The multipurpose DAQ is also capable of measuring static vibrating wire measurements.

Learn about our patented VSPECT™ spectral-analysis technology at our VSPECT Essentials web resource.

The dynamic vibrating wire measurement technique is protected under U.S. Patent No. 8,671,758, and the vibrating wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT) is protected under U.S. Patent No. 7,779,690.

Key Advantages

Rugged for the Field, Refined for the Lab
Flexible, precise, accurate

Technical Description

The Granite 6 provides extreme measurement versatility, has multiple communications options, processes sensor responses to engineering units, performs calculations, generates alarms, and controls external devices. Data are stored in onboard, nonvolatile memory awaiting transfer to the end user via direct or remote access. The Granite 6 can generate real-time or event-driven data tables. These data can be further processed with high-level math functions and statistical summaries such as averages, standard deviations, and rainflow histograms.

Benefits

  • Operational in extreme environments with a standard operating range of -40° to +70°C <!--and an extended operating range of -55° to +85°C-->
  • USB and built-in Wi-Fi for easy connection to PC
  • Universal terminals configurable for analog or digital, input or output
  • Supports static vibrating wire measurements using Campbell Scientific’s patented VSPECT spectral analysis technology
  • Industry leader for high-resolution measurement needs
  • USB host facilitates additional memory in large data applications
