Streamer Data Logging, Charting and Review Software
The Streamer software lets you be up and running extremely quickly. You can save a library of configuration files making it very quick to start a new test run. Download a free demo of Streamer and see for yourself.
Maximum Speed
The maximum speed of the Microlink 570 card depends on several factors, including the speed of the computer and the amount of software running. The quoted 100 000 samples per second is for data initially logged to RAM disk with only Streamer software running. This could be 1 channel at 100 kHz, 2 at 50 kHz and so on. You can log data directly to the hard disk at speeds of around 80 kHz. You can choose how often all enabled channels are sampled and the time between sampling each channel in software.
Connections
You make your connections to a 37-way D connector, or, if you wish, can permanently wire your signals using an optional boxed screw terminal unit (Microlink 59x).
