DTS DATA ACQUISITION IN ACTION
DTS miniature and rugged data acquisition systems are specifically designed to be embedded directly within or on the test article, close to the sensors. This innovative approach eliminates the need for complicated cable runs or trailing cables, making them perfectly suited for field and in-situ testing scenarios common in sports. The direct benefits include significantly quicker test setups, reduced interference, and ultimately, improved data quality for critical sports performance data logger applications. The modular configurations of DTS data acquisition systems make them ideal for a diverse range of applications, including high-stakes motorsports, performance validation of cutting-edge sports gear, rigorous helmet testing for athlete safety, and precise tracking of mild traumatic head injuries (mTBI) in contact sports.
