Introduction 1
1.4 Overview
The OM-DAQXL is an 8 or 16 analog input portable data logger with a color
7” resistive touch screen display. It has user programmable inputs that can be
configured for several different types of sensors including temperature sensors
(thermocouple, RTD, thermistor), strain gage, process inputs (voltage and
current) and digital pulse inputs. All configurable options (including individual
channel input type and range) are software programmable. The device is
powered by a 7.2V, 4.8 Ah Li-ion battery. In addition an external 12V, 5A AC
adapter can be used to power the device for extended periods.
The compact, portable packaging ensures ease of use in a variety of applications.
Devices can be wall mounted using the provided keyhole mount or easily
operated on a bench.
The device has four operating modes:
1. Free Running – In this mode the device measures and displays configured
analog / digital inputs. No Logging is performed. No Trigger conditions are
set.
2. Armed Mode – In this mode the device measures and displays configured
analog / digital inputs. A Start Trigger condition is set. No Logging is
performed until the Start trigger condition is met.
3. Logging Mode – In this mode the device measures and displays configured
analog / digital inputs. The device is also logging data from the input channels
to the designated memory location, either the SD card or the USB drive or the
internal memory.
4. Data Review Mode – In this mode users can review previously recorded data
in a graphical view. Zoom in and out. Scroll through the data back and forth in
time. Review recorded data from any 4 channels on one screen.
1.4.1 Operating Environment
The OM-DAQXL has been designed to meet its stated specifications when
operating within the ambient conditions outlined below.
Temperature: 0 to 50 deg C (32 to 122 deg F)
Humidity: 0 to 95% RH non-condensing
In addition to restricting operation of the data logger to the given temperature
and humidity ranges, a warmup period of 30 minutes is recommended to ensure
best accuracy of measurements.
