APEX Turbine has teamed up with Datatel Telemetry to provide a new and better way to test rotors. New, direct digital interface improves data quality while lowering costs. By bypassing the digital to analog conversion, users are able reduce noise and loss of data quality that comes with multiple, now unnecessary, data conversations. Datatel offers the ability to test through either analog or digital paths and sends digital data directly to DS Data Acqusition Software by direct Ethernet cabling. This setup eliminates the spaghetti mess of copper cables that normally accompanies these acquisition systems allowing a much simpler solution at a lower cost.
