Data acquisition module | Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a high quality modular data acquisition system for applications ranging from ultra-portable small channel count mobile field based needs to large scale fixed installations of hundreds of synchronous channels. Datasheet (EN)

Description

Dragonfly is fully compatible with HGL’s existing range of data collection, real-time monitoring, analysis and archiving systems and can be easily integrated into third-party or custom systems due to its network-based architecture. Dragonfly is small enough to easily fit in a laptop bag and light enough to be easily transported to remote locations. This makes it an ideal measurement system with a standard laptop for personal work or on-site consulting work. However, the standard Dragonfly can also be connected to other units to create large multi-purpose systems by simply pushing it together with one or more other modules and connecting a few simple cables (power, sync and Ethernet). Dragonfly can be equipped with a range of internal signal conditioning cards, further expanding its capabilities and benefits to end users. Single or multiple conditioning functions can be hosted by a single Dragonfly and cards can be swapped out by the user as needed.
