CX22B – Rugged Real-time Data Acquisition

CX22B is a highly reliable stand-alone data recorder built for any test environment – whether in the lab or bouncing along in a vehicle. The interface is versatile and combines fast, synchronized acquisition with integrated analysis and secure storage. You can connect QuantumX modules, video cameras, GPS or inertial systems (IMU) to collect, analyze, and store mechanical, electrical, or thermal measurement quantities as well as the signals from the vehicle bus, cameras, wheel force sensors, or GPS directly to the module.

Reliable stand-alone data recording

CX22B provides absolute reliability when it comes to storing your measured data. With a high sampling rate of 5 MS/s, sequential recording configurations and deep memory, CX22B is stable, even in the event of sudden interruptions. Built-in alarms and logging help you detect limit violations immediately, while secure storage ensures your measurement history remains intact for traceability.

With test automation options and powerful online computation of signals available directly in the data recorder, you can perform functions such as scientific calculator, matrix calculation, counting (rainflow, time-at-level, etc.), frequency analysis (FFT and trigger), calculation of electric power and draw the right conclusions – immediately in the field.

Typical applications

• Lab-based durability, vibration, and environmental testing
• Wired field acquisition where a rugged, self-contained recorder is preferred
• Multi-channel setups that benefit from distributed modules and centralized recording
• Development testing that requires repeatable triggers and reliable data capture

Incredibly flexible system integration

The CX22B is engineered for the QuantumX modular data acquisition system, supporting centralized or distributed topologies, up to 1000 channels and straightforward network access for configuration and data download. You can connect QuantumX modules to measure strain, force, acceleration, temperature, voltage, current, and more, then compute derived quantities directly in the recorder. In addition, you can connect CX22B with your Somat^XR measurement system for steady data recording in truly harsh environments.

To record CANbus data, connect the module to the QuantumX MX840B CAN FD measurement module or a Somat^XR CX471C measurement module. 

The module can be accessed in a variety of ways including direct connection to a touchscreen or tablet. For wireless access, use data recorder module CX22B-W. Then with the pre-installed catman EASY software, parameterization, visualization and analysis is easy – with or without programming skills. You can also automate workflows using drivers for National Instruments LabVIEW™ and Microsoft .NET.

Stay connected with the latest firmware and software

All QuantumX modules are delivered with the latest firmware. For existing modules, it is easy to update the firmware by simply downloading the latest firmware package.

HBK also provides both native and third-party software packages and drivers allowing you to fully leverage the QuantumX ‘open’ data acquisition infrastructure for integration with a great number of operating, analysis and automation software. This includes:

• MX Assistant: a modern and free device or system assistant that supports all module functions
• catmanEasy / AP / Enterprise: The standard DAQ software used with the QuantumX platform
• Third-party drivers: For example, LabVIEW™, Visual Studio^® .NET and CANape^®
