1. Introduction
The GRANITE™CHASSIS is a strong metal enclosure that delivers optimized thermal management
and mounting convenience for a collection of GRANITE-series data acquisition (DAQ) modules.
As a system that includes a rechargeable backup battery, it can be portable or stationary. Power
can be supplied by AC or DC sources such as solar or rackmounted wall-power. Configuration
versatility suits many demanding applications and operational environments.
NOTE:
The terms DAQ and data logger may be used interchangeably throughout this manual. While
there may be subtle differences depending on context or opinion, ultimately a DAQ or data
logger is the primary controller of a data acquisition system.
