The QuantumX platform combines optical and electrical measurements in a single, reliable, and scalable solution. At its core, the MXFS module is designed for Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-based sensors, bringing all the benefits of BraggMETER technology to your data acquisition setup for easy, flexible, and cost-effective optical measurements.
BraggMETER technology ensures exceptional precision through continuous swept laser scanning, while a built-in wavelength reference provides continuous calibration for long-term accuracy. Its broadband tuning range of 100 nm with parallel optical connectors enables seamless integration of large sensor networks.
With MXFS modules, hundreds of FBG sensors can be connected in series across eight optical connectors, enabling synchronized acquisition. This makes the system perfect for large-scale sensing networks, delivering accurate and stable measurements for sensors with high strain capability, fatigue resistance, and long-distance installation—all while reducing cost per measuring point and simplifying ownership through a unified platform.
Two module options for your application:
Two connector types for adaptability:
Combines synchronized optical and electrical measurements in one modular DAQ system. Fully integrated with HBK software solutions for data acquisition and analysis, including MX Assistant, CommonAPI, and catman® software. Drivers for third-party platforms, such as LabVIEW, are also available.
Connect hundreds of FBG sensors across eight optical connectors to build large-scale networks. Expand functionality by adding additional modules, optical or electrical, for expanded and hybrid measurement setups. Integrate seamlessly through multiple communication platforms and protocols, and create analog outputs for flexible system configurations.
Reduces cost per measuring point and simplifies ownership by using a single, unified platform.
