For many products a mechanical test characterization is important to validate its reliability. To acquire and log the test data, a data acquisition system (DAQ) is a helpful tool. DAQ systems can be applied to measure temperature, static and dynamic forces, and general displacement and positioning of your products. The modular DAQ970A system from Keysight is able to acquire data from various temperature sensors, strain gauges, Wheatstone bridges and electrical signals from positioning sensors.
