Bigger data logger brings down costs
Featuring up to 16 differential inputs and 32 single ended inputs, the SQ2040 has the capacity to log even more parameters at rates of up to 100Hz
The new SQ2040 Squirrel data logger from Grant Instruments boasts the same technically advanced features as its little brother the SQ2020, with the added bonus of additional input channels and 100Hz sampling for increased capability 16Mb of on-board memory (capable of taking almost 2,000,000 readings), along with multiple ADCs for sub-second logging and concurrent sampling, make the new Squirrel ideal for use in applications such as manufacturing and process industries, science, and quality assurance, says Grant

As well as the 16 differential analogue channels there are two additional high voltage inputs that measure 60V DC; useful for automotive applications where new 42V battery systems are used.
All this at a much lower cost per channel than other similar systems, according to the company.
The SQ2040 is described as portable, lightweight and easy to use.
It can be used as a standalone data acquisition system, and can be connected via USB or RS232 serial ports for faster download of data.
For extra mobility the SQ2040 has an easy-access memory slot which accepts standard MMC (multi-media card).
This allows any operator on site to download data or re-program the logger's parameters, by simply swapping memory cards.
For convenience and speed of use, the new Squirrel has been designed to have up to six pre-configured programmable set-ups that can be easily selected from the logger's front panel.
Set-ups can also be changed in the field from the front panel by an operator without a PC.
The SQ2040 supports ethernet, landline, and GSM wireless communications, providing global access from any site to a centrally located system for convenient and prompt supply of data.
The new SQ2040 also comes with SquirrelView, an easy to use set-up and analysis software package.
