Small Data Acquisition System

Small Data Acquisition System

The EME PicoDAS is the most compact, self contained, full featured small Data Acquisition System (DAS). This DAS measures only 9.39 cm (length) by 7.11 cm (width) by 3.81 cm (height). It also weighs less than 500 grams for 32 channels. Any additional channels can be added or removed in 16 channel increments. Adding or subtracting only 1.01cm per 16 Channels to the height dimension. Up to 64 channels can be installed in a single unit. Therefore, units can be daisy chained together for extremely high channel counts. EME has sacrificed no features to achieve this small size. The PicoDAS has been available since 2004 and is praised by many who use it. The applications for this small Data Acquisition System are limitless.
