24 February 2017

OM-DAQXL from Omega is an 8 or 16 channel analogue input portable data logger with a 7 inch resistive touch-screen colour display.

All inputs are programmable and can be configured for millivolts, volts, milliamps, thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, strain gauge, or frequency. All the menus, selections, and configurations can be accessed from the display touch screen. The unit also has 4 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, 4 alarm outputs, one USB host port and one USB device port.

The OM-DAQXL comes complete with protective rubber boot, rechargeable lithium ion battery, 32 GB SD card, one plastic stylus, 1 GB USB thumb drive, 1.8 m USB cable, 1.8 m digital I/O cable, alarm/excitation terminal block, AC power adaptor, screwdriver, quick start guide, set of 5 PTFE insulated Type K thermocouples, set of 5 ferrites to install on the thermocouple inputs (for noise reduction) and crimp-on earth terminal.

The home screen is the main screen of the data logger’s user interface. It is divided into 3 distinct sections as shown on the PDF data sheet.

Digital Display View Status/Information:

  • Display: This status bar provides information such as Battery Charge percentage, System Clock (displays current Time & Date), Lock/Unlock data logger, status of the 4 Alarm Outputs, and Logging Mode indication.
  • Data Display Area: This is the area where different inputs (up to 4 Channels) are displayed vs. time. The data is displayed in 4 different ways: Waveform, Waveform & Table, Table only, and Digital. In the Digital view, each channel name and number are displayed along with the value.
  • Navigation Toolbar: This toolbar provides access to all the functions and menus of the data logger. You can extend or retract the toolbar by pressing the Tool button.

The following flow chart shows all the functionalities of the buttons of the toolbar.  The OM-DAQXL’s touch screen user interface (UI) makes configuring the data logger for operation straight forward and simple. Recorded data files can easily be reviewed and analysed on the OM-DAQXL. For data analysis on a computer, simply transfer the data file from the SD card or USB thumb drive to the PC and open the selected data file into Excel® or other data analysis software.
