Data Acquisition Module The Dragonfly8 is a high quality modular data acquisition system for dynamic signal measurement requirements. Applications range from ultra portable small channel count mobile field based units, to large scale fixed installations of hundreds of synchronous channels for development testing. The Dragonfly8 is small and lightweight; it is an ideal measurement tool for field work, fitting comfortably into a laptop bag. Multiple units may be linked together to form larger systems. The modules are also compatible for integration with any of HGL’s Data Acquisition,...

Data Acquisition Module Dynamics Software Overview Data Acquisition - Hawk HGL’s Hawk acquisition software provides everything a user needs to configure, calibrate and acquire data from the acquisition hardware. Full control and feedback of the system is provided by the Hawk GUI Client application; this provides an intuitive instrument-like interface that allows even novice users to operate large channel count systems, even from remote locations. Real-Time Monitoring - Hawkeye Hawkeye allows one or more users to monitor the signals being acquired in realtime (<0.1s latency). Fully...

Data Acquisition Module Dynamics Condition Signal Conditioning The Dragonfly8 module can be fitted with a wide range of internal signal conditioning cards which further extend the Dragonfly’s capabilities. Single or multiple conditioning functions are possible depending on card choice. HGL has designed a set of conditioning cards that fulfil most industry standard requirements. However more cards are developed as clients’ requirements change. The signal conditioning options currently available for the Dragonfly8 module are: • FE-1404-DFY: Voltage, IEPE, and Proximeter Probe conditioning...
