The Dytran 4600A1 VibraCorder is a miniature multi-channel datalogger designed for use with IEPE 
sensors. The 4600A1 is designed to provide conditioned IEPE power to external sensors and record 
data from these sensors for up to 15 hours. The included software allows the user to configure the 
dataloggers acquisition settings and to view recorded data from the internal SD card. The 4600A1 
utilizes a unique optical synchronization method that allows multiple units to record simultaneously 
when stacked on top of each other.
