Step AT

Standalone data acquisition unit

Temperature, humidity, pressure: 12 channels monitored from your browser.

DaqBox continuously records measurements from Sensirion miniature sensors, at the rate you choose. You view the data and produce your reports from any PC on the network, with no software to install.

The need

Monitor a climate without reading measurements by hand.

A cellar, a drying room or a thermal test bench needs continuous temperature and humidity monitoring, often at several points. Multiplying standalone loggers means reading them one by one and cross-checking files. DaqBox brings up to 12 sensors together on a single unit.

Before

Scattered standalone loggers, manual readings, proprietary software to install on every workstation.

With DaqBox

A single unit connected to the network, an adjustable recording interval, all 12 channels available from any PC.

Key features

From probe to report, everything happens in the unit.

Acquisition

12 measurement channels

Each sensor plugs into a numbered RJ45 port. Temperature, humidity and pressure can be freely combined to suit your installation.

Recording

Standalone operation

The unit records and serves data without a PC permanently connected. You set the number of measurements per minute, up to one measurement per second.

Adjustable interval1 s minimumOnboard storage
Web interface

No software to install

An embedded web page gives access to the settings: time, IP configuration, number of records already stored and remaining disk space.

Analysis

Measurement reports

Recorded data is the basis for precise reports, to document a storage period, a drying cycle or a test campaign.

Getting started

Operational in three connections.

The DaqBox sets up without tools or software: the sensors, the network, then the browser.

  1. Connect the sensorsEach probe plugs into an RJ45 channel with its 3 m cable, extendable up to 10 m.
  2. Connect to the networkAn Ethernet cable links the unit to your network or directly to a PC. Power is 5 V.
  3. Open the interfaceEnter the DaqBox address in a browser, set the time and the rate, and recording starts.
