Squirrel 2020 series, the new generation data logger from Grant Instruments, combines high performance, comprehensive features and universal inputs in a compact and portable instrument. Using multiple analog to digital convertors, convenient low cost and removable memory options positions the 2020 series as the ideal data logger for industrial, scientific research and quality assurance applications. The 2020 provides standalone data acquisition and metering that together with a suite of comprehensive software and functional good looks make the 2020 the "all in one box" first choice
Key Features
¡ñ24 universal analog inputs for voltage, current or resistance measurements plus 2 high voltage, 4 pulse and 8 digital event/state inputs
¡ñAnalog inputs can be used with thermistor, thermocouple and 2 wire RTD temperature sensors and 4-20mA instruments
¡ñUser selectable logging rates of up to 100Hz on a single channel
¡ñ16Mb of internal memory for approximately 1 to 2 million readings
¡ñDownload of internal data to removable MMC (Multi Media Card) memory
¡ñEasy to use removable connector
¡ñSensor power and relay outputs for use with external devices
¡ñComprehensive access to information using the 2 line, 40 character LCD and button panel
¡ñReadings can be scaled and viewed in realtime on a PC or on the local LCD
¡ñCalculated channels derived from real channels using basic math¡¯s functions
¡ñUSB and RS232 communication
¡ñNon volatile flash memory - data retention is virtually indefinit
¡ñMultiple 24 bit analog to digital convertors (ADC) for precision measurement
¡ñPortable, battery operated or mains
Communications:
USB and RS232 serial ports are standard with external options for Ethernet, Landline and GSM
communications enabling global access and system integration of the 2020.
Multiple setups stored in internal and external memory:
A setup is the instruction that tells the 2020 how it will operate. Up to six preconfigured setups, together with the setup in current use, are held in the internal memory. In addition further setups can be loaded from the external memory. Switching between setups is extremely easy and fast using the convenient LCD display and button panel, avoiding the need to connect to a PC, thereby reducing time and effort to switch between different data logging applications.
Comprehensive configuration:
SquirrelView configuration, download and data export software permits full control and use of the 2020 data logger. The convenient LCD display and button panel enable metering and logging in true portable operation.
Concurrent sampling:
2020 multiple ADCs enables true concurrent sampling and logging. For instance one channel can sample at a rate of 100Hz whilst retaining different sample speeds on other channels, making the 2020 ideal for measuring parameters that change at different rates such as temperature and pressure.
