Measurement boards & mainframes

The robust RASdelta mainframe is available with 8 and 16 measurement board slots. RASdelta measurement boards can be exchanged, depending on the application. Due to its compact format and low weight, the hardware is suitable for mobile use and easy transport. The mainframe is resilient and temperature insensitive, due to the integrated fan. Existing sensors and electronics of the ROTEC RAS FireWire series are compatible with the RASdelta series. The integrated touch panel display enables you to operate the system as a data logger without a measuring laptop.

Trigger board

The powerful RASdelta trigger board synchronizes all measurement data between channels, acquisition modules and connected front-ends. It is an integral part of the RASdelta.

Analog board 3,2 MHz

With the RASdelta analog board, you can measure analog quantities such as airborne and structure-borne noise, acceleration, temperature, displacement or pressure. These quantities can be used, for example, to determine the position of a sound source or to carry out detailed valve train or cylinder pressure investigations. The analog measurement data is acquired by equidistant sampling.

DMS board

The RASdelta strain gauge board is an integrated two-channel DC voltage amplifier for signal acquisition from strain gauge-based, piezoresistive, magnetoresistive or potentiometric transducers. These include force, torque, pressure, displacement and angle sensors or scales. A big advantage of the board is that you can do without additional measuring amplifiers.

Cluster

You can modularly expand the number of channels by coupling the RASdelta front-ends to each other via the Ethernet and Sync interfaces. One of the front ends acts as master card and synchronizes the other devices in the cluster. The ROTEC software recognizes the RASdelta cluster as an extended front end with additional slots.

Cluster

Data logger

With the additional data logger module, you can convert your RASdelta 08 or 16 front-end to a data logger for mobile use such as in motor vehicles, on motorcycles, in racings or for applications at sea. The RASdelta runs in data logger mode without a measuring laptop, whereby all functions for operating the system can be executed directly at the RASdelta front end. Touch operations on the display enables measurements to be configured and carried out. All configuration and measurement data are stored on a micro SD card with USB adapter and can later be transferred to a PC for evaluation.
