Brüel & Kjær LAN-XI DAQ modules cover wide application range

Durham Instruments carries the LAN-XI series.

Durham Instruments supplies a broad range of test and measurement solutions by Brüel & Kjær, such as the LAN-XI range of data-acquisition (DAQ) modules. The core of this family is the Type 3050 multi-purpose four- and six-channel series, which is built to handle an unmatched range of sound and vibration measurement applications.

There are two basic variants of the Type 3050 series, enabling choice between four and six high-precision channels with an input range from DC to 51.2 kilohertz.

With interchangeable front panels

With LAN-XI hardware, these data-acquisition modules are versatile units that work for various tasks. Durham Instruments deems them suitable for use in general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food processing, forestry, the medical field, the military, mining, packaging, power generation, alternative energy, transportation, and research and development.

As the most flexible input modules available, the Type 3050 series serves as a lone-module system or as part of a large LAN-XI measurement system. All of these devices have interchangeable front panels that provide the flexibility to work with a broad variety of transducers.

Relevant applications for this series include noise-source identification, operating deflecting shape, modal analysis, satellite qualification tests, high-frequency beam forming, and other high-channel-count measurements in sound and vibration. The Type 3050 series is recommended for the following workplace scenarios:

• Front end for PC-based data recorder Type 7708;
• Measurement front-end module for PULSE measurement and analysis software;
• Multi-module measurements/distributed system;
• Single-module measurements;
• Standalone recording (no PC) using LAN-XI Notar software; or
• Wireless front end for Sonoscout.

The LAN-XI range of DAQ modules includes several different designs of these units. This versatile system of modular hardware can serve as a standalone, single-module front end, part of a distributed module setup, or collected in five- or 11-module frames. The hardware can work with PULSE LabShop, BK Connect, and Test for I-deas. Each is a plug-and-play device that users can reconfigure in different setups.
