QuantumX MX410B Dynamic Universal Amplifier + catmanAP Software Package

Universal Data Acquisition with Advanced Measurement and Analysis Functions

This is an advanced hardware+software package for measuring a variety of quantities including force, displacement, pressure, acceleration, vibration and sound, with very high precision and speed. This combination enables convenient channel parameterization using TEDS (or the sensor database), measurement parameterization, individual data visualization, multi data recorders, video recording, data storage, cloud integration, navigational/map-based analytics and reporting.

The package includes: QuantumX MX410B dynamic universal amplifier, power supply, 4 transducer plugs with TEDS, Ethernet cross­over cable, catman^® AP software and software maintenance for the first 12 months.
