Integrate optical technology with MXFS into the QuantumX modular DAQ system and receive the best out of each system for your monitoring and testing projects.
QuantumX MXFS
QuantumX MXFS makes optical measurements easy, flexible and competitive – according to your needs. It provides you with all the optical benefits of the BraggMETER technology: suitable for measuring large sensing networks composed of various types of sensors, high strain and high resistance to fatigue, reliable and high-quality long-distance measurements, reduced cost and many more.
With the MXFS BraggMETER modules, hundreds of Fiber Bragg Grating sensors can be connected in series to the eight optical connectors with simultaneous acquisition.
Your benefits are obvious: a cost reduction not only per measuring point but also for overall ownership.
Two modules are available for a perfect fit to the application:
QuantumX MXFS allows for the integration of an impressive number of precise and stable optical fiber measurements with different outputs such as strain, temperature, acceleration, load and tilt. With the integration of MXFS, the accuracy and the possible range of applications for your measurements increase.
QuantumX MXFS BraggMETER interrogators are ATEX and EN45545 certified.
MXFS offers all the benefits of the QuantumX series such as easy handling and compatibility with catman software.
MXFS offers a high sensor density and multifunctional use.

List of accessories available for all variants of this family
HBK offers the complete product portfolio for your monitoring application: With newLight optical sensors, strain, temperature, acceleration, load and tilt measurements are possible. In addition, QuantumX MXFS is compatible with the powerful HBK catman software but also open to other software.
Like all QuantumX modules, MXFS is compatible with catman data acquisition software (DAQ) – version 5.4 or higher –, allowing for data visualization, analysis and storage during the measurement and subsequent reporting.
The software has an extensive range of functionality and is easy-to-use, even for users who are unfamiliar with the technology.
Using catman with MXFS as stand-alone or in a measurement chain that acquires data via different QuantumX modules, the software benefits your measurement in every way:
The catman licence is already pre-installed on the module. Nevertheless, MXFS is open to any software by modern API and LabVIEW driver.

Did you already know that HBM has been developing optical interrogator systems since 2004?
Always trying to achieve the best possible results, our experts have regularly improved the interrogators over the past 16 years.
The transformation has not only made the interrogators smaller and and more lightweight but also significantly improved the devices' speed thus increasing both accuracey and the range of applications.
Don’t miss the evolution of the optical interrogators and see how QuantumX MXFS became what it is. Learn more
