Highlights
Ultra-Compact Embedded DAQ
SLICE NANO features integrated signal conditioning in an ultra-small form factor, enabling placement inside confined test locations such as crash test dummies, vehicle structures, aerospace components, and experimental fixtures.
Modular Stack Architecture
SLICE NANO 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.
High-Speed Programmable Sampling
Each channel supports programmable sampling rates from 10 sps to 500k sps, enabling accurate capture of transient events such as crash pulses, shock events, and vibration signals.
Onboard Flash Data Recording
The system records directly to 16 GB onboard flash memory, enabling reliable standalone data capture during tests where tethered communication is not practical.
Applications
SLICE NANO is designed for short-duration, high-speed tests where package size and data quality both matter. Its compact architecture and standalone recording help reduce cable length, simplify setup, and support reliable close-to-sensor measurements in rugged environments
