The CoCo-80X is a handheld data recorder, dynamic signal analyzer, and vibration data collector. It is ideal for a wide range of industries including machine condition monitoring, automotive, aviation, aerospace, electronics, and military. These industries demand quick, easy, and accurate data recording in addition to real-time processing in the field. The CoCo-80X is a perfect solution as a low cost, lightweight, battery powered handheld system with unparalleled performance and accuracy. The intuitive user interface is specifically designed for easy operation while still providing a wide variety of analysis functions.

The Spider-20 series of products are compact yet powerful data acquisition and dynamic measurement systems. These units provide four 24-bit precise high-fidelity input channels, and a unique software-selectable tachometer-input/signal-source output channel. Each input is individually programmable to accept AC or DC voltage or output from an IEPE (ICP) sensor with built-in electronics. Input channels can be programmed to sample up to a rate of 256 kHz. The Spider-20E is a small scale (5 5/16 x 4 5/16 x 1 5/16 inch) device weighing only 18 ounces. This handheld unit features three push-button controls and five LED status indicators. This little powerhouse can run over 6 hours on its internal rechargeable battery which can be replaced in the field with a backup battery.

The Spider-80X is designed for applications in three fields: dynamic data acquisition, vibration test control, and machine monitoring. Each front-end features eight analog input channels and two channels that may be software selected as analog outputs for vibration control or tachometer inputs for the analysis of rotating machinery.

Unlike traditional vibration test controllers that rely heavily on an external computer for real-time operation, the Spider-81 is the first vibration controller that directly integrates time-synchronized Ethernet connectivity with embedded DSP technology. This strategy greatly increases the control performance, system reliability and failure protection of the vibration test controller. It also allows a large number of channels to be configured without sacrificing system performance.

The Spider-80M platform is based on the efficient Spider-80Xi architecture and is dedicated to MIMO vibration test control and MIMO structural testing applications. Each Spider-80M chassis features 8 outputs capable of carrying out 6-degree of freedom MIMO vibration testing. One Spider-80M chassis and multiple Spider-80Xi chassis can chain together to form a very large system with up to 504 input channels.

The Spider-80SG is a high precision, general purpose data acquisition device featuring strain gage measurement. This device can be used in a variety of physical and measurement tests. The Spider-80SG can acquire data from a strain gage or a wide range of measurement quantities. A variety of general purpose and strain gage based sensors are supported. The Spider-80SG is built on the proven outstanding performance and reliability of Crystal Instruments’ DSP-based hardware platform. It features the same form factor as other Spider-80X front-ends from Crystal Instruments and can be configured into one measurement system with excellent compatibility and scalability. This gives the Spider-80SG capabilities to reliably acquire data from multiple sensors and for multiple measurement quantities simultaneously.

The Spider-80Ti is a front-end from the Spider-80Xi hardware platform that enables temperature measurement. Spider-80Ti supports temperature measurements from Thermocouples and RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensors.
