qDAQ: 4 to 8-channel DAQ system with Ethernet server

qDAQ 4-channel MCA and with Ethernet server.

The qDAQ systems combine one or more qMorpho DAQ cards together with a low-power Ethernet server. The system is housed in a sealed industry-standard Can-Tainer and uses IP67 certifed connectors for the data connections.

The Ethernet server is based on a 150 MHz ARM-9 RISC processor running under DigiInternational's NET-OS operating system. The server code is open-source and can be modified and expanded by our customers.

The system is programmed to autonomously acquire data and send these to the client at user-defined intervals.
