Highlights

Compact Rugged Package

SLICE MICRO combines small size with built-in connectors, making it easier to deploy in harsh tests without altering the test dynamics.

Scalable Channel Architecture

SLICE MICRO systems are configurable with a BASE module and stackable sensor module layers, allowing engineers to configure systems in 3-channel increments up to 24 channels per stack. Multiple stacks can be connected to create large, distributed measurement systems.

Flexible Sensor Support

Broad analog sensor compatibility allows test engineers greater freedom to configure systems around measurement requirements rather than the hardware.

Standalone Data Capture

Direct-to-flash recording supports untethered acquisition during destructive, remote, or difficult-to-access tests.

Applications

SLICE MICRO fits dynamic test programs that require rugged, connectorized packaging while retaining the benefits of a miniature onboard DAQ. It supports a wide range of sensors, shortens cable runs, and enables reliable standalone recording in harsh conditions.
