Farnell's team of test and measurement experts has combined commonly used NI and Omega hardware and software products to ensure system compatibility and simplify the product selection process. By using recommended test configurations, engineers can simulate real-world conditions to guarantee product specifications, such as enhanced durability and reliability. Farnell also offers customized services and technical support from its own team of experts to address each customer's needs and provide faster access to information for troubleshooting.
NI's software-connected systems offer limitless opportunities and can integrate with existing tools and workflows, leveraging data across multiple applications to drive results. All Farnell sensor-to-software solutions include NI's premium data acquisition hardware and FlexLogger data logging software, ideal for reliable testing and product lifecycle assessment applications.
Characteristics::
• Interchangeability: The modular, single-slot chassis allows for easy interchangeability of the measurement system simply by swapping modules for different applications. The chassis and software can be reused with any of NI's more than 80 CompactDAQ-compatible C-Series modules.
• Ease of Use: The FlexLogger data logging software can be configured with a customized user interface featuring graphs, charts, and alarm indicators. The system can monitor multiple variables simultaneously, accelerating decision-making compared to equivalent software systems that can only measure one variable. Users can define the conditions that trigger alarms and logging, and incorporate operator input panels to collect test metadata.
• Compatibility: Test results can be saved in Excel-compatible file formats (.csv) or the open binary standard .tdms for use with any internal software.
