1.1 General
The microDAQ-Mk2 is a self contained acquisition system and combined pressure scanner that
acquires and transmits data to a host via Ethernet or a CAN bus. It is the newest version of the
popular Chell microDAQ acquisition system, now known as microDAQ-Mk1.
The microDAQ comes in several variants to accommodate both conventional HD series scanners
and Digital Thermal Compensation (DTC) scanners with 16, 32 and 64 channels.
The microDAQ is supplied with all the software required to configure it and read the data from it.
The microDAQ addresses the scanner at a defined rate, acquires the output and applies a
pressure and thermal calibration to derive the engineering units.
The microDAQ also has a hardware trigger like the Mk3 CANdaq system, to give some time
determination to the data acquired.
This manual revision covers firmware version 2.0.2.
