MDX-8000: High speed Bragg grating sensors measurement
MDX-8000 is a high speed data acquisition unit for Bragg grating sensors. Its 8 optical channels are sampled in parallel at up to 2 kHz. Up to 120 sensors can measured simultaneously over 8 optical lines.
The unit accepts many types of Bragg grating sensors and can measure stress, temperature, pressure, acceleration, force, displacement… without buying expensive conditioning modules.
Available in 1 kHz or 2 kHz versions, with 4 or 8 optical lines, this unit offers numerous advanced functionalities:
- Auto-detection of sensors defects.
- Digital input for acquisitions synchronization
- 4 static relays that can be configured on thresholds, sensor or system faults
- Compensation of light propagation speed
- Possibility to connect a GPS antenna for ultra-accurate data dating.
- Data recording on internal memory or data transfer on Ethernet via TCP-IP.
The MDX-8000 embedded software integrates an extremely intuitive and user-friendly web interface that allows the setup of the entire system and sensors without having to install specific software on a PC. The MDX-8000 can be used in a fully autonomous way: once power is on, it will automatically start measurements and can store them on its internal memory.
