Dytran's new USB powered, digital, 6 degrees of freedom sensor combines a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and onboard temperature sensor with a microcontroller to create a smart sensor. The VibraScout 6D TM plug-and-play, cost effective, portable data acquisition system. Measure X, Y, and Z acceleration, pitch, yaw and temperature using a laptop
The Dytran model 5346A1 is a unique and innovative solution for fast, portable and cost effective vibration surveys and data acquisition. Easy to install software allows for real time, three-directional vibration data acquisition (including static inclination), three-directional orientation data acquisition (gyroscope) along with real-time temperature monitoring. The system stores acceleration, gyro and temperature information, and the built-in firmware handles USB communication and provides a number of unique features including storage of device serial number and storage of accelerometer, gyro and temperature calibration data.
The accelerometer contains a variable capacitance (VC) MEMS chip (available in ranges of 14g and 200g) with USB interface. Load the software onto your PC or laptop (see below for minimum computer system requirements). The standard USB protocol handles all the sensor communications with the PC; no external power is required for the sensor, simply plug it into the USB port. The sensor is hermetically sealed in a titanium housing weighing 13 grams, allowing it be used in harsh environments from test tracks to field monitoring. The frequency range of the VibraScout 6D™ accelerometer is 0 Hz (DC) to 1,100 Hz and the gyroscope is 0 to 250 Hz.
Units can withstand 10,000g shock.
