From Sensor to Software: the Optical Measurement Chain

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.

QuantumX MXFS: Full Power with catman

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:

  • Straightforward measurements of the optical and electrical signals under the same interface
  • Data visualization on multiple pages, parallel measurement task recording, multiple exportable data formats, data saved locally or remotely
  • Sensor configuration, data processing and report generation

The catman licence is already pre-installed on the module. Nevertheless, MXFS is open to any software by modern API and LabVIEW driver.

QuantumX MXFS: the Optical Expertise Behind it

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
