Description
Hummingbird offers rugged, rack-mountable data acquisition front ends in 16/24/32 channel versions with integrated signal conditioning options.
All Hummingbird units include HGL’s standard interface connections. This means that all Hummingbird units can connect with and operate with any other modular HGL front end.
The Hummingbird is available in a 2U, 3U, and 3.5U machined, hard-anodized aluminum chassis and is ideal for harsh environmental conditions, including vehicle applications. All Hummingbird units are fully supported by HGL’s data acquisition software.
