Designed for Automotive and Industrial Testing
The EDAQ16P Pulse Data Acquisition Module is designed for engineers who need reliable pulse and digital signal acquisition in demanding real-world testing environments.
Modern automotive, off-highway, motorsports, and industrial validation programs often require synchronized measurement of wheel speeds, RPM signals, switch states, and other frequency-based signals while operating in vibration-heavy and environmentally challenging conditions. The EDAQ16P addresses these requirements with a compact, rugged module architecture that integrates directly into ATI’s broader EDAQ and VISION ecosystem.
By combining differential pulse inputs, digital pulse channels, and digital state inputs within a single enclosure, the EDAQ16P helps reduce system complexity while maintaining flexible signal conditioning and measurement capability.
Typical Applications
-
Wheel speed measurement
-
Engine RPM monitoring
-
Solenoid and actuator tracking
-
Switch state monitoring
-
Vehicle and test cell data acquisition
Why EDAQ
Ruggedized for Real-World Testing
The EDAQ16P is designed for mobile and field-based data acquisition where environmental durability matters. Its sealed billet aluminum construction and extended operating temperature range support use in demanding vehicle and industrial testing conditions.
Capture Multiple Signal Types in One Module
Instead of combining multiple devices for pulse and digital measurements, the EDAQ16P consolidates several measurement types into a single compact unit:
Differential universal VRS/pulse inputs
Digital pulse inputs
Digital state inputs
This simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity.
Flexible Signal Conditioning
Different sensors and test environments require different signal configurations. The EDAQ16P provides programmable:
Input polarity
Signal filtering
Pull-up configuration
Signal level settings
