Increase Data Acquisition Flexibility Using Wireless LAN

Show Description

Snapshot: Capture and Download Data on the Move

A wireless LAN-based data acquisition system can be used with vehicles to capture and download data at periodic intervals. For example, during high speed track testing engineers need a way to capture vehicle temperatures and download to a central computer for analysis.

Using the Keysight Technologies, Inc. 34972A, a vehicle is easily instrumented to measure various temperatures. In addition, the 34972A has a standard LAN interface, so using wireless LAN for communications is simple.

After an extended drive on the test track, pulling into a maintenance station re-establishes the wireless LAN connection and data can be downloaded to a central computer for post processing. When the download is complete, the driver can return to the track to continue the test drive.
