- DB-1: one channel mode -- collects force or torque data
- DB-2: two channel model -- collects both force and displacement data (use with test stands equipped with digital distance meters)
- SW-1: Data Acquisition Software
- Send data to the PC spread sheet with the touch of a button
- Zero the gauge
- Select different acquisition rates
DB buttons work with Imada SW software to automate data collection from Imada force or torque gauges. Enter peak measurements into the spreadsheet and "zero" the gauge with a touch of the button. Minimize computer time and mouse useage.
DB-1 Data Button -- Single Channel
DB-1 is a simple, compact, one channel interface that enables
the user to send measurement data to a PC running SW-1, Imada data
acquisition software, or other software.
Single data mode simplifies peak measuring tests because
it also ‘zeros’ the gauge after sending the data to
the computer, thus eliminating the need to reset manually for each
test.
Automatic acquisition mode allows users to select different
acquisition rates from 20 data/second to 1 data/999.9 seconds.
Start data acquisition by clicking the button, then click again
to stop, which simplifies start/stop functions by eliminating the
need to use computer mouse and screen to control testing. This
allows users to focus on the testing rather than the PC and the
data acquisition spreadsheet.
As a visual confirmation, the LED lamp will light up for both single data and
automatic acquisition modes when data is being sent to the computer.
No external power supply is needed as power is supplied through
the PC. Connect Imada gauges to the data input button with
cable CB203 and the computer to the data button with a 6' DB9
serial cable (included with DB-1).
DB-2 Data Button -- double channel
Collect both force and displacement data for analysis with the
SW-2 Imada data acquisition software and DB-2 data button.
SW-1 Data Acquisition
Software
 Full SPC and graphing capabilities - Designed for Imada gauges
- Automates your data collection
SW-1 Imada data acquisition software is a highly customized Excel
spreadsheet specifically designed for capturing and analyzing real-time
data from Imada gauges with a RS-232 port. SW-1 allows real time
data from RS-232 instruments to be input directly into any Windows
program – including Microsoft Excel. SW-1 inputs gauge readings
in real time and provide a running log of all force measurements
along with a chart of the data as well as statistical information
including Min, Max, Mean, Median, Standard Deviation, Average Deviation
and Variance. Complete control of the gauge is provided through
a set of “buttons” on the spreadsheet that enable easy
editing of the sampling rate, force measurement units, peak/real
time, tare and power off.
Other features include a memory download option for AXT, AXT-DPU and DPXH gauges
only. If desired, the entire stack can be saved to disk, analyzed or cleared.
Because all data is entered directly into a standard Excel spreadsheet, you
are virtually unlimited in your ability to analyze your force gauge data using
all of the powerful tools available in Excel.
