QuantumX MX238B Full-Bridge Amplifier + catmanAP Software Package

High‑precision Measurements Made Simple

This is an advanced hardware+software package for full-bridge transducer measurements that require superior, accuracy, stability and reliability such as on-site servicing and calibration.

The package includes convenient channel parameterization using TEDS (automatic channel setup), measurement parameterization, individual data visualization, multi data recorders, video recording, data storage, cloud integration, navigational/map-based analytics and reporting.

The package includes: QuantumX MX238B high-precision full-bridge amplifier, power supply, 2 transducer plugs, Ethernet cross­over cable, catman^® AP software and software maintenance for the first 12 months.

MX238B and catmanAP can also be purchased as stand-alone products.

Ready for any system architecture

With built-in TEDS support that provides automatic transducer identification, flexible parameterization and minimal wiring, setup is nearly effortless setup. System integration is based on the QuantumX modular architecture for truly scalable, synchronized measurement systems with FireWire and Ethernet PTPv2 support. As part of the QuantumX platform, MX238B becomes a flexible building block that can be synchronously expanded with a multitude of QuantumX modules.

With the catmanAP software installed on your PC, you achieve a true plug‑and‑measure setup where torque, force and pressure data can be immediately visualized, analyzed, stored or digitally forwarded.
