Wireless Data Acquisition Consoles
A four channel NI CDAQ 9191, with four high sensitivity PCB accelerometers, currently used in the Ashmolean museum to monitor vibrations. This has been funded by Marie Curie Career Integration Grant number: 618359 within the 7th European Union Framework Programme.
Field Accelerometers
![Geosig Field Accelerometers allow for monitoring autonomously on a structure without access to a power supply](/media/5516/field-accelerometers.jpg?width=950&height=460&rnd=133386328801830000&quality=75&format=webp)
Field Accelerometers
Our Geosig Field Accelerometers allow for monitoring autonomously on a structure without access to a power supply. We have 7 tri-axial, high sensitiviy accelerometer boxes that can be synchronized using GPS signals.
