Vibration testing Software APPLICATIONS Features SLICE is a modular data acquisition system featuring unmatched flexibility, technology and reliability in an ultra-small size. Available in two form factors, both SLICE MICRO and SLICE NANO are ideal for a variety of critical test applications. The foundation of the system is the BASE SLICE that contains the microprocessor, memory and all control circuits for managing multiple 3-channel SLICEs that can be stacked in different channel count and sensor input configurations. A simple interface provides power, trigger and communication signals for chaining multiple SLICE stacks and connecting to your PC. • SLICE modules easily configure to create the exact features and channel count needed. Stack up to 24 channels per base and daisy-chain up to hundreds of channels per test. • Intuitive, easy-to-use software • Lightweight & extremely small • 16 GB direct-write flash memory • Expanded sampling ranges: Minimum 10 sps per channel Up to 200k sps on =24 channels per stack Up to 500k sps on =3 channels per stack • Supports a variety of sensors, including full and half-bridge sensors, strain gauges, IEPE, voltage input, thermocouples • SLICE MICRO offers built-in triaxial accelerometers, angular rate sensors, and external IEPE (piezo-electric) sensor inputs • Complies with ISO 6487 and SAE J211 recommended practices, as well as NHTSA and FAA requirements • BASE+ is compatible with all legacy SLICE MICRO & NANO www.dtsweb.com DSH-001 (Rev 10.2014) DTS offers two great software options for all SLICE products. SLICEWare offers fast, easy tools for storing sensor information and performing data collection. DataPRO offers a full-featured database and user interface for tracking sensor information, creating test objects and test setups, performing diagnostic routines and running tests. Both software options feature the most advanced self-diagnostics available plus support for EQX and numerous data exchange file formats.
