Description
The Dragonfly provides a family of rugged 8-channel small form factor data acquisition modules with built in signal conditioning options.
All Dragonfly units include HGL’s standard interface connections. This means that all Dragonfly units can connect with and operate with any other modular HGL front end.
The Dragonfly is supplied in a 450x450x50mm machined, hard-anodized aluminum chassis with machined T-slots, allowing multiple modules to be combined to form systems with a larger channel count. It is designed for relatively harsh environmental conditions, including applications near test vehicles. The modules are IP64/65 rated, depending on the signal conditioning options. All Dragonfly units are fully supported by HGL’s data acquisition software.
Advantages & Innovations
- 8 channels
- Multiple conditioning types (Voltage, IEPE, bridge (all types), dynamic strain, SE & DF charge, 4–20mA, RTD (PRT) and TC per channel)
- Multiple synchronizing types (IRIG A/B, IEEE-1588 (PTPv2), HGL LVDS)
- Simultaneous sampling (individual Sigma-Delta ADCs per channel)
- Flexible sample rates (1kHz to 256kHz)
- 140dB dynamic range
- Flexible power (DC power from 9 to 36V, IEEE 802.3bt, AC power supplies via external adapters)
- Conduction cooled (-55°C to 80°C ambient temperature)
- Flexible and scalable
- IP64 housing protection rating according to DIN EN 60529
- DAkkS calibration (DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025) possible
