Introduction
The 2680A Data Acquisition System (DAS) and 2686A Data Logging System
(DLS) provide 20 to 120 channels that operate in conjunction with Fluke DAQ
software for Windows to form a data acquisition system.
The 2686A comes with a removable PC Card (PCMCIA) for stand-alone storage
operation. This socket accepts ATA memory cards up to 2 GB in size.
Each 2680 Series instrument can hold from 1 to 6 modules. These modules are the
Precision Analog module (PAI), Fast Analog module (FAI), and the Digital
IO/Relay and Totalizer module (DIO). These modules are all isolated from one
another. You can add the DIO module to the instrument in slot 6 only.
The analog modules measure dc volts, ac volts, ohms, temperature, frequency, and
dc current. Temperature measurements use thermocouples, thermistors or
resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). The instruments also have extensive
computed math capability. Besides using data collected from the analog modules
and digital totalizer, time can also be used in computed channel calculations.
The system scans 20 to 120 analog channels and calculates the values for up to 60
computed channels. Interval timers, alarm conditions, and/or an external signal
input can trigger scans. The Fluke DAQ software configures and controls up to 99
2680 Series instruments via an Ethernet connection. The software provides the
means to view scan data and log it into files. In addition, Fluke DAQ software
permits multiple master/slave groups to run simultaneously.
The two analog modules that may be used with the 2680 Series are the FAI
module and the PAI module. The PAI modules emphasize precision with 5 ½
digits of resolution, .02% accuracy, and can withstand up to 150 V common mode
voltage (300 V on channels 1 and 11). The FAI modules emphasize increased
measurement speed with 4 ½ digits of resolution, 0.04% accuracy, and can
withstand up to 50 V common mode voltage. See Appendix A for instrument
specifications.
