The Q.brixx series takes the performance of the Q.bloxx
modules and delivers them in an integrated, rugged,
scalable, and portable form factor. More than a dozen I/O

modules types are available allowing you to ‘mix and

match’ measurement features with your application

requirements. Each Q.brixx module is individually housed
in a rugged aluminum housing that handles data
acquisition (up to 100 kHz per channel), channel-to­channel isolation (up to 1200 VDC), sensor conditioning,
filtering, linearization, and conversion to engineering units
– all at the I/O measurement level. The integrated Q.gate
test controller handles the data synchronization, buffering,
time stamping, and communication to the automation
system or PC over Ethernet (TCP, UDP, FTP Modbus,
etc.). The overall result is a portable measurement system
that’s up to the test.
