Handheld Temperature/Humidity Dataloggers

The D-Series available from Audon Electronics are a range of portable, battery operated stand-alone temperature, humidity and thermocouple data loggers. There are 3 models in the range; The D3120 has an internal temperature and humidity sensor with a -10°C to +60°C temperature range and a 5 to 95% relative Humidity range, the D3121 uses an external temperature and humidity sensor on a 1m lead with an -30°C to +105°C temperature range whilst the D0321 accepts up to 2 external type K, J, or S thermocouples.

Temperature and humidity readings can be displayed on the LCD screen and recorded in internal memory. An audible alarm can also be set to warn of alarm conditions.

Record rates can be set from once every 10 seconds to once every 24 hours, and up to 16000 recordings can be stored. Data can then be downloaded to a PC for display and analysis at a later date using the included software.

Temperature Alarm and Monitor from Web Browser

The P8 series from Audon Electronics a low-cost Ethernet solution for temperature monitoring and alarm in server room, museum, medical and industrial applications. Simply connect to your LAN, open any web browser and begin monitoring.

Temperatures can be viewed in tabular or history chart formats. The history memory can hold 900 readings, with a variable store rate from 10 seconds to 18 hours. Stored history data can be downloaded to a PC file for further analysis.

The P8 series also have under and over temperature alarms. The units can email a warning message to up to three users, and can send SNMP alarm traps. The series also supports MODBUS TCP for integration with SCADA software. LabVIEW examples are available.

New U6 adds to the LabJack Family

The LabJack U6 USB Data Acquisition and Control unit from Audon Electronics is the newest member of the popular LabJack range. Featuring 14 analogue inputs with 16-18 bit resolution and a programmable gain amplifier, the U6 is ideal for measuring real-world signals.

The U6 has built-in cold junction compensation for thermocouples, and has two fixed current sources, useful for measuring resistance and for use with resistance thermometers.

Coupled with 20 digital I/O, up to 4 counter/timers, 2 analogue outputs, wide software support and a free copy of DAQFactoy Express, the U6 represents great value at only £219 ex VAT.

Circuit Gear 7-in-1 USB Test Instrument

The Circuitgear CGR-101 from Audon Electronics is a PC-based instrument that provides the features of seven devices in one USB-powered compact box. The device offers the performance of a two-channel 10-bit 20MSa/sec 2MHz oscilloscope, a two-channel spectrum-analyser, and a 3MHz 8-bit arbitrary-waveform/standard-function generator with eight digital I/O lines. It also functions as a network analyser, a noise generator and a PWM output source. Its open-source software runs with Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

The CGR-101's oscilloscope capability provides a two-channel 10-bit -+/-0.25Vp-p to +/-25Vp-p 2MHz basic scope, but with sophisticated marker measurements, triggering (normal, auto, single-shot and pre-trigger) with time-base adjustable from 50ns/division to 100ms/division. With a 1k sample/channel data buffer, the user can even view pre-trigger signals.

The CGR-101's two-channel FFT spectrum analyser feature offers marker measurements, and when used with the internal signal generator, displays Bode plots and performs vector network analysis, showing gain and phase values.

The CGR-101's signal generator is an 8-bit 0.1Hz to 3MHz signal source, offering sine/square/triangle/ramp waveforms, as well as being capable of outputting arbitrary or preloaded waveforms such as ECGs. The user can enable the generator, connect its signal to a circuit and perform measurements with the oscilloscope and/or spectrum analyser. The generator can also be set to function as a white noise source. A slider-controlled PWM generator is also provided, with mark-space ratio clearly displayed.

The included visual interface software enables simple control and display of information. The oscilloscope, generator, and digital I/O are operated from a custom open-source Tcl/Tk software GUI included with the hardware. As the software is open source, the code can be read and even added to or customised.The CGR-101 is also Labview compatible and can be controlled by any serial-port-driving software, such as Matlab or Visual Basic.

Project-based electronics lab teaching materials are also available for use with Circuitgear CGR-101. http://www.audon.co.uk/cgr101.html

Price drop on PCI DAQ Cards

Audon Electronics have reduced the price of the PCX range of PCI data acquisition and control cards. The range was designed with the industrial user in mind, and feature real-world interfaces such as relays, Darlington drivers and optically isolated inputs.

There are seven models available ex-stock, 4 digital I/O cards, a counter/timer card an analogue output card and a multifunction I/O card

All cards come with a comprehensive software development kit with a dll, ActiveX and numerous examples in Visual Basic and C++. Also included are LabView VI's and examples and Intouch drivers.

Prices start at just £99.

USB DAQ Range Expands with the USB-1208LS Addition

Audon Electronics has now added the RedLab USB-1208LS to it's range of USB data acquisition and control units. The RedLab USB-1208LS has 8 single-ended inputs or 4 differential inputs with 12-bit resolution, offers sample rates up to 1.2 kilosamples/sec (8 ks/s for up to 4000 samples) with 8 software selectable input ranges. The unit also provides 2 channels of 12-bit analogue output, one 32-bit counter and 16 bits of digital I/O.

With the addition of the USB-1208LS, Audon Electronics now has one of the largest ranges of USB Data Acquisition and Control equipment in the UK with more than 30 different model types usually in stock for next day delivery.

DataNet Wireless Data Acquisition System

The DataNet is a professional wireless data acquisition system using the Zigbee wireless protocol. Consisting of a USB base station, DataNet acquisition units, repeater units and the DataNet PC Suite logging software. The acquisition units have 4 inputs for direct measurement of PT-100, thermocouple, voltage 4-20mA, frequency and pulse. There is also a version with the addition of built-in temperature and humidity sensors.

Data can be stored in internal memory, or streamed to a central PC running the DataNet software for recording, charting and display. Data can be displayed in tabular or chart formats or the user can display a plant mimic with data overlaid. Logged data can be exported to a spreadsheet for further analyses. The software also enables you to configure, calibrate or update the firmware of DataNet units wirelessly.
