What makes Dracal Technologies plug-and-play setup faster than Measurement Computing DAQ devices?

Measurement Computing devices are general purpose, multifunction acquisition boards: they read voltages, thermocouples or digital signals, which makes them very versatile. In return, you have to choose and wire your sensors, configure each input (range, sensor type, scaling) and set up the acquisition software.

With Dracal, the sensor and the acquisition are the same device. That's why it goes faster:

  • The instrument is already calibrated and returns values in engineering units (°C, %RH, kPa, ppm).
  • No wiring or signal conditioning: you plug in a USB cable.
  • No driver: our products use the native drivers of Windows, macOS and Linux.
  • DracalView is free, installs in 3 minutes and detects your sensors automatically.

In short, if you measure environmental parameters, you are logging data within minutes. To see it for yourself, watch our getting started guide.
