DataTrap II Data/VOD Recorder

Description:
NEW in 2005:
Responding to the data acquisition industry's demand for a portable, rugged, accurate, and easy-to-use multichannel data recorder; MREL, the world's leading manufacturer of continuous VOD recorders for the explosives industry, is pleased to introduce the new DataTrap II Data/VOD Recorder.
HIGH SPEED and HIGH RESOLUTION:
With recording speeds of up to 10 MHz per channel and 14 bit resolution, the DataTrap II has the ability to record fast phenomena with detailed accuracy. The DataTrap II even has a real-time mode with data streaming speed limited only by the operator's computer and its USB 2.0 connection.
UNLIMITED CHANNEL EXPANDABILITY:
The DataTrap II can handle present and future data acquisition requirements. It has a standard 8 channels and multiple DataTrap II Recorders can be connected to each other to synchronize time and trigger events when more channels are required.
MEMORY TO BURN:
With a variety of memory configurations available 128 to 512 MB of internal RAM and a selection of non-volatile compact memory If you can not see the animated image, click here

cards, there is sufficient secure memory for even the longest critical data acquisition events.
NOW THIS IS RUGGED:
PC card based data acquisition systems continuously fail in the field. Count on the DataTrap II to be fully operational under conditions where other data recorders won't even survive. The DataTrap II is drop-proof from a 1 m (3 ft.) height, has an operational temperature range from -40 to +80 °C (-40 to +185 °F), and it is snow, rain, dust and sand proof. The DataTrap II is utilized by the mining industry to record the performance of explosives. The DataTrap II is fully functional without the need of utilizing a computer in the field.
IMMEDIATE RESULTS:
After the event, the DataTrap II Advanced Analytical Software makes the download of data from the memory card or directly from the DataTrap II, analysis, graphical presentation, and printing of the results simple point-and-click operations. Export of the data to other Windows programs is also a simple point-and-click operation.
VOD UPGRADE FOR BLASTERS:
The DataTrap II can be upgraded to provide 8 channels of explosives continuous velocity of detonation (VOD) recording for the blasting industry. Ideal for blasts where multiple holes are detonating simultaneously or where a combination of VOD recording and recording of other gauges, such as pressure gauges, is being conducted.
Gauge Recording Applications:
1. Use one or more channels for any data acquisition application including temperature, strain, vibration, pressure, acceleration or any other signal that has an output within -10 to +10 VDC.
2. Use lower speeds to record longer events (8 channels = 5.33 minutes @ 100 kHz, 533 minutes @ 1 kHz) in extreme environmental and high-G situations where most data acquisition systems would not survive.
3. Use the real time mode to stream data indefinately to a USB 2.0 connected computer, streaming rate only limited by the computer and the connection.
4. Connect multiple DataTrap IIs together to synchronize time and trigger events when more than 8 channels are required.
5. After the event, transfer recorded data to a computer using USB 2.0 or using a CompactFlash Memory Card.
6. Utilize the DataTrap II Advanced Analytical Software to display and analyze the data and/or export the data for analyses using 3rd party software packages.
Explosives VOD Recording Applications:
1. Records the velocity of detonation (VOD) continuously along the length of columns of explosives loaded into one or several blastholes and records the delay time between decks of explosives if the blastholes are decked.
2. Determines the delay times between multiple blastholes.
3. Records the VOD continuously along the length of a sample of explosives or sample of detonating cord.
4. The DataTrap II has 8 channels which allows testing of eight blastholes or explosives samples detonating simultaneously or conduct VOD tests on one or more channels and record other gauges on one or more remaining channels.
5. Records up to 10 data points per microsecond for a very detailed view of explosives samples detonating.
Users:
Suitable for all Researchers, Instrumentation Engineers, Technicians and Field Trials Personnel tired of having their PC-hosted data acquisition systems fail in the field at the slightest hint of high/low temperatures, rain, dust or vibration.
Upgrade Options and Accessories:
A wide range of gauges, signal conditioners, VOD accessories and signal cables are available directly from MREL. Please refer to the VOD/Data Recorders and Accessories Product List for complete details.
Requirements:
A PC running Windows '95 or later is required for post-test data transfer, graphical display of time versus distance, voltage, or user-defined units. All software is provided at no additional cost and may be installed on an unlimited number of PCs.
