How VDAS works

TQ's Versatile Data Acquisition System is a highly effective way of collecting and using data from experiments using TQ's educational teaching equipment.

Automatic data acquisition from experiments using TQ's educational teaching equipment

The output signals from VDAS®-compatible products connect to a VDAS® interface unit. This, in turn, connects to a computer. Students then use the comprehensive range of functions in the intuitive, user-friendly VDAS software to monitor, record and analyse their experiment data.

One interface unit can service many pieces of VDAS®-compliant equipment in a laboratory. There's a choice of either a frame-mounting (VDAS-F) or a bench-top (VDAS-B) interface unit. The functionality of both types of interface unit is identical: the two presentation formats are available to provide choice and convenience.

Setting up experiments is easy and connection straightforward. Additional transducers and industrial-standard sensors can also connect to the interfaces (for example digital displacement measuring devices, pressure sensors, flow meters and so on).

The software functions include:

Recording data automatically or with some manual input
Display of real-time data, either in digital form or as an analogue meter
Logging data for printing and later analysis
Exporting data for use by other software
Performing real-time calculations to generate user-defined data
Creating and printing charts and data tables

In addition, the high flexibility of the software enables students or lecturers to create, save and re-use their own custom layouts if required.
