The DT9836 is a series of high-speed, high performance USB data acquisition modules that provide simultaneous analog input operation at up to 800 kSamples/s per channel. Each analog input has its own A/D converter to eliminate phase shift between channels and to allow you to correlate measurements at the exact same instant in time. Each USB DAQ module features three quadrature decoders for measuring absolute and relative position and for detecting rotational speed.
The DT9836S, shown in BNC connection box, provides simultaneous analog inputs at up to 800 kHz per channel.

| Application Notes and White Papers | |
|---|---|
| Benefits of Simultaneous Data Acquisition When choosing a data acquisition board, many different selection criteria are used. Speed, resolution, accuracy, and number of channels are all important considerations. For many applications, a simultaneous acquisition device is certainly the architecture of choice due to its inherent speed and accuracy. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Rotating Speed Measurements with the DT9836 Quadrature encoders are used in a wide range of applications relating to rotating objects. They are used for positioning purposes and also to measure the rotating speed of an object. For many data acquisition applications, not only the position and the rotating speed of a device is of interest but physical and electrical data has to be acquired along with the rotating object. |
|
| Shock Testing Using the DT9836 Module and Measure Foundry Quanta Laboratories needed a data acquisition system with the ability to measure 24 inputs, each with up to 2000 g of resistance, simultaneously. In addition, they wanted to be able to trigger the start of acquisition using a single-axis accelerometer. |
|
| 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. |
