Revision 2 of the CUSP M released


 
CSI are pleased to announce the release of the second revision of the CUSP-M multichannel data acquisition system. The second revision represents a significant change in the multi-channel data acquisition paradigm, with the digitisation, timing and buffering of data being performed at each sensor node. This, in combination with TCP-IP data transfers over standard Ethernet systems, results in unmatched data robustness, flexibility of deployment and vastly reduced installation costs and efforts. The second revision still contains compatability with the current sensor range including accelerometers, borehole probes, LVDT displacement sensors and Vaisala wind monitoring equipment. The first units were shipped in April this year.
