Introduction
The ibaPADU-C-8AI is intended for off-line data recording of process data. With the in-
ternal lithium ion battery the device can be powered for about 19 - 24 h independent of
the main power. Once the ibaPADU-C-8AI is connected to the mains power grid, the
internal battery will be charged automatically, and thereby provides by-pass protection
during unexpected power failure.
The device is characterized by its simple handling. It is configured via an editable text
file that is saved on the device in the "config" directory.
The sampling time can be adjusted for long-term measurements (sampling rate 1 sam-
ple/min) and measurements with high sampling rates (1000 samples/s).
The measurement data recording is started and stopped by:
keystroke (manual) or
external signal (triggered)
To read the measurement data, the device is connected to a PC via an USB connection.
The PC recognizes the devices per plug and play like a mass storage device. In addition,
it is possible to retrieve the data using the network connectivity via FTP.
The ibaAnalyzer
