DTS DATA ACQUISITION IN ACTION
DTS miniature rugged data acquisition systems are designed to be embedded in or on the test article near the sensors. This eliminates complicated cable runs or trailing cables, making them ideal for field and in situ testing. The results include quicker test setups and improved data quality. The modular configurations make DTS data acquisition systems ideal for a variety of applications including motorsports, performance validation of sports gear, helmet testing, and tracking mild traumatic head injuries (mTBI).
