Automotive

Data acquisition is a common component in manufacturing and testing applications for the Automotive industry. This industry requires stringent testing during manufacturing to ensure the highest quality output.

Field testing that simulates real-world driving is also important. These applications often capture multiple channels simultaneously at high speed and with high resolution, all in real-time and with absolutely no missed samples. Not only that, these applications require the systems to be rugged and portable.

Data Translation offers a full line of high-speed, high-resolution, rugged, and portable USB data acquisition modules that provide highly accurate, simultaneous measurements. These modules are ideal for the rigorous testing required for the Automotive industry and have been used by many customers for these exact applications.

Application Notes
[]Engine Monitoring and Testing with the DT9836
Engines are the driving force behind many forms of transportation and/or agricultural machinery. They are designed to run at high speeds and at high temperatures. They are stringently tested to perform under the harshest of conditions in order to satisfy very high quality standards. This testing process using data acquisition needs to be accurate, precise, repeatable, and most of all correct.
[]Synchronized, Triggered Automotive Data Gathering Using Measure Foundry and DT9836 Hardware
Imagine that you need to capture multiple channels of high-speed, high resolution, simultaneous data in real time with absolutely no missed samples. A large automotive component manufacturer that supplies equipment to major car manufacturers faced this challenge and needed an appropriate data acquisition system.
