1.1 About DARWIN
What is DARWIN?
Created from a completely new concept that is based on modular architecture, this group of next
generation data acquisition systems is called
DARWIN (Data Acquistion and Recording
Windows) .
Today many data acquisition networks are increasingly being linked together. More than ever
before, large volume, high speed, accurate, easy-to-use communication functions are essential in
many disciplines.
In the world of measurement and control where the number of measurement points has increased
sharply, the ability to acquire information from a large number of points easily and economically
is crucial. Interfacing to a personal computer allows simplified utilization of the information
while improving quality and efficiency.
DARWIN is based on a unique, new concept to meet these needs. The art of measurement is
revolutionized by DARWIN which integrates functions of conventional recording and data
logging.
Most existing data acquisition equipment has been the all-in-one type in which the measurement
section and display/recording section are contained in one box. While this simplifies operation on
the one hand, it is difficult to adapt to changes in the measurement environment and also makes
expansion difficult.
DARWIN uses a data acquisition engine and remote I/O modules which are completely separate
from each other. It is an entirely new product line which quickly and flexibly copes with various
restrictive conditions and changes in specifications.
Supported by a personal computer, a whole line-up can be created starting with the data
acquisition systems DA series which performs data logging. For example, using a printer as the
output device, the equipment becomes a hybrid recorder (DR series).
Three models are available in the DR series: the DR130, DR230 and DR240. The DR130 is a
portable hybrid recorder, the DR230 is a desk-top hybrid recorder, and the DR240 is a panel-
mount hybrid recorder (component type).
