HBM data recorder provides fast results in interactive vehicle testing

Jan. 23, 2018

Marlborough, MA. HBM Inc. has announced its new SomatXR CX22B-R data recorder, for acquiring and storing measured data in mobile applications such as vehicle testing. The data recorder is suited to be used in harsh environments, with an extended temperature range of -40 to +80°C. Additionally, it is shock- and vibration-proof and has an IP65/IP67 degree of protection provided by its water-, dust-, and shock-proof enclosure.

Both centralized and distributed measuring systems can be implemented. HBM’s preinstalled catman measurement software facilitates acquiring and storing data in .bin format. This format includes measured values and traceability data and allows for easy conversion to other formats. Immediate data visualization and analysis during measurements in the field enables users to perform efficient tests and create clear and comprehensive test reports.

The SomatXR data-acquisition system provides two flexible mobile measurement solutions: the rugged CX22B-R data recorder for interactive testing and the CX23-R data recorder with a web interface for unsupervised testing. Besides these two data recorders, seven equally rugged measuring amplifiers are available for acquiring different physical quantities.

The unit includes an integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for fail-safe operation in the vehicle.
