SMART DAQ: Flexible Data Acquisition and Signal Generation
The SMART DAQ is a powerful data acquisition and signal generation system from Optomet's SMART series—offering the same synchronization and analysis capabilities as the SMART vibrometers, but without an integrated vibrometer.
By acquiring high-frequency signals up to 50 MHz and synchronizing seamlessly with other SMART devices, the SMART DAQ enables scalable measurement setups and efficient real-time data analysis. Extensive connectivity, an arbitrary waveform generator with eight independent channels, and intuitive software provide maximum flexibility for demanding measurement tasks.

01
Integrated into the SMART System
A wide range of sensors can be connected to the SMART DAQ across up to 16 channels, including temperature, force, acceleration, and pressure sensors with or without IEPE support. The synchronized data is seamlessly available for analysis in the SMART Lab software.

02
Compact 3-in-1 Solution
The SMART DAQ combines the functions of three previously separate devices: a DAQ box, an oscilloscope, and a signal generator. Across 16 channels, it can record data with a high dynamic range and frequencies up to 50 MHz, while generating up to 8 arbitrary waveforms.

SMART Lab Software
Measurement software for the entire SMART series: synchronized acquisition, time and frequency domain analysis, and 3D model measurements.
SMART Lab Software: One Software for All Devices
Use SMART Lab software with all devices in the SMART series to unlock their full potential. Synchronized data from various devices is processed simultaneously, providing unparalleled flexibility for your measurement setups.
Measurements Supported by 3D Models
Easily measure complex structures with intelligent calibration and simple generation of measurement points. The fully automatic calibration process saves time and costs. Convincing vibration visualizations of complex structures are achieved through seamless animation of measurement data on the 3D models.
Advanced Capture and Analysis
Time and frequency data can be analyzed in real-time, even while the measurement is still ongoing. This allows you to check settings at the start of the measurement process and achieve faster and more reliable results.
Maximum data acquisition efficiency with SMART DAQ
Data acquisition at the touch of a button—SMART DAQ is exactly that and so much more. With the ability to acquire multiple high-frequency signals at up to 50 MHz and an integrated arbitrary waveform generator, it makes your work easier.
As part of the SMART series, SMART DAQ integrates seamlessly with other SMART devices, enabling scalable measurement setups for research, development, and testing. Whether used with laser Doppler vibrometers for precise, non-contact vibration measurements or additional SMART DAQs for further data acquisition, all signals are centrally recorded and analyzed using the intuitive, powerful software.
With powerful signal processing, versatile connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB, and an intuitive touchscreen, SMART DAQ provides a flexible high-end solution for demanding data acquisition applications in research and development.
