DAQ Accessories
DAQ Accessories
Data acquisition (DAQ) accessories encompass the broad range of supplementary hardware required to extend, upgrade, or optimize the capabilities of DAQ systems and data loggers. This category includes upgrade kits, current probes, flexible Rogowski-style sensors, interface cables, and software modules that enable engineers to expand measurement channels, improve accuracy, or add new measurement types to existing equipment without replacing the core instrument.
Fluke is a prominent supplier in this space, offering upgrade kits for its power logger series that add measurement channels, power quality analysis, and energy monitoring capabilities. Thin flexible current probes and clamp-type sensors allow measurements in tight or difficult-to-access spaces within electrical panels and machinery.
Typical Applications
- Power quality monitoring and energy auditing in commercial and industrial facilities
- Expanding channel counts on existing data loggers for multi-phase electrical analysis
- Non-intrusive current measurement in confined spaces using flexible Rogowski probes
- Upgrading power loggers for compliance with IEC 61000 power quality standards
- Building automation and HVAC system commissioning and diagnostics
