LAN-XI DAQ modules by B&K are flexible and versatile instruments

The B&K Type 3050 data-acquisition module

Brüel & Kjær test and measurement solutions are accessible to Canadian manufacturers through Durham Instruments. This includes the LAN-XI range of data-acquisition (DAQ) modules, the core of which is the Type 3050 multi-purpose four- and six-channel series. These units are designed to handle an unsurpassed range of sound and vibration measurement tasks. The Type 3050 series has two basic variants, which allows choice between four and six high-precision channels with an input range from DC to 51.2 kilohertz.

Perfect for many applications, scenarios

With their LAN-XI hardware, these DAQ modules are versatile devices that suit a variety of industrial applications. Durham Instruments recommends them for use in the general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food-processing, forestry, medical, military, mining, packaging, power-generation, alternative-energy and transportation sectors and in research and development.

The Type 3050 series comprises the most flexible input modules on the market, each serving as a lone-module system or as part of a large LAN-XI measurement system. All these instruments have interchangeable front panels that offer the flexibility to work with a wide range of transducers.

Among the relevant applications for this series are 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. These DAQ modules work for the following industrial 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
• Wireless front end for Sonoscout

The LAN-XI range of DAQ modules includes several designs of these instruments. 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 function with PULSE LabShop, BK Connect, and Test for I-deas. Each is a plug-and-play device that can be reconfigured in various setups.
