The 1586A Super‑DAQ is the most accurate and flexible temperature data acquisition system on the market. It scans and records temperature, DCvoltage, DC current, and resistance for up to 40 input channels and scan speeds as fast as 10 channels per second. The Super-DAQ can be configured for use as a multi-channel data logger in the factory or as a precision reference thermometer for benchtop sensor calibration in the lab.

The 1586A Super-DAQ collects time-stamped precision temperature and electrical measurements for data analysis by technicians, engineers, and quality control personnel to verify process control, analyze interactive systems, ensure conformance to quality standards, or to correlate related events for R&D or troubleshooting. Measurement data and statistics can be viewed in tabular format for all active channels. With the graphing feature, up to four channels can be plotted at the same time, making it easy to quickly assess test setup and results before analyzing the data on a PC. 

When configured with the DAQ-STAQ Multiplexer, the Super-DAQ has the accuracy of the best benchtop reference thermometer readouts for calibration of PRTs, RTDs, thermistors, or thermocouples. Lab efficiency can be increased when the Super-DAQ is connected to a Fluke Calibration drywell or bath and Automated Sensor Test routines are run.

The 1586 is ideal for a number of applications such as thermal mapping, temperature validation, process sensor calibration, and more. These applications are found in a various industries including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food processing, aerospace, and automotive.

Some temperature data acquisition applications require compliance to government and standards agency requirements. TQSoft and TQAero thermal validation software help engineers, technicians and lab managers to meet the key guidelines for temperature data collection. These software solutions provide a complete qualification, reporting, documentation, and audit trail management system.
