Data acquisition & software

Check the module support table and the connection diagram for the particular technology. Even a universal module may require an adapter, bridge completion or specific excitation settings. A capability of one module in a family does not automatically apply to the other modules.

When signals are analysed relative to one another in time, check synchronisation rather than only equal measuring rates. The QuantumX manual describes several synchronisation methods depending on modules and connection infrastructure. A system combining different equipment families also needs an appropriate shared time reference.

Not necessarily. QuantumX describes parallel signal paths for data analysis and real-time transfer. Transfer rate, latency and connection method must be checked separately from measuring rate. A module maximum rate is not a guarantee for every system communication path.

TEDS is an electronic transducer data sheet stored in a device in the sensor or connector. It can carry identification and calibration data that support channel configuration and traceability. Check module and connection support. Its presence does not constitute a new calibration certificate for the whole measurement chain.

Only when the module supply voltage and power budget suit the sensor. The QuantumX manual specifies adjustable supply and per-channel and per-module power limits for relevant modules. Check the combined sensor demand before selecting internal excitation or an external supply.
