DAQ-9600 Series

The GW Instek DAQ-9600 Series is a modular data acquisition system and multi-channel data logger built around a 3-slot mainframe and a precision 6½-digit DMM (1,200,000 counts). Populate its three plug-in slots with multiplexer, matrix, multifunction or high-voltage modules and the system scales to 120 single-ended (60 two-wire) channels, measuring 14 different input signal types: temperature, voltage, current, resistance, frequency, capacitance and strain, at scanning rates up to 450 channels per second. For R&D validation, environmental and reliability labs and production monitoring, it replaces a rack of single-function instruments with one configurable platform.

A modular data acquisition system with a 6½-digit DMM

At the heart of the DAQ-9600 is a built-in 6½-digit (1,200,000-count) digital multimeter with 0.0035% basic DCV accuracy, 0.05% basic ACV accuracy and 0.01% basic resistance accuracy. Every channel routed through a plug-in module is measured by this single, traceable DMM, so readings across dozens of points stay consistent. A large 4.3-inch TFT colour display shows live channel values, charts and alarm status on the front panel, while up to 100,000 readings of non-volatile internal memory let the system log unattended and retain data through a power cycle. Scanning runs up to 450 channels per second, and a single channel can be sampled at up to 38,400 readings per second for fast transient capture.

14 input signal types: temperature, voltage, resistance, strain

The DAQ-9600 measures and converts 14 different input signal types without external signal conditioners:

This breadth lets one mainframe handle a mixed sensor harness, thermocouples, RTDs, voltage taps, shunt-based current and strain gauges, that would otherwise need several separate instruments.

DAQ-9600 plug-in modules

The three slots accept any combination of seven modules, so channel count, switching type and voltage rating are matched to the job. Modules are hot-swappable, letting you reconfigure a test rig without powering the mainframe down.

A maximum 120 single-ended channels is reached with three DAQ-903 modules; 60 two-wire channels with three 20-channel multiplexers. The DAQ-909 is the route to direct 600 V DC / 400 V AC measurement, and the DAQ-907 turns the mainframe into a small control node with digital I/O, counting and analog output.

Multi-channel data logger: software, logging and interfaces

As a multi-channel data logger, the DAQ-9600 records to 100,000 points of non-volatile memory and connects over USB (host/device), LAN and Digital I/O, with mini-GPIB as a factory option. The free DAQ-Data Logger PC software provides channel configuration, real-time charting and data export. A LabVIEW driver (LabVIEW 2015 or later) supports custom test sequences. A built-in web interface lets you monitor and control the system from any browser on the network. Logged data can be copied straight to a USB flash drive from the front panel, and per-channel alarm thresholds flag out-of-limit readings during a scan.

Applications

The DAQ-9600’s channel density, sensor breadth and logging features make it well suited to:

• Multi-point thermal mapping: burn-in racks, thermal profiling of electronic assemblies and environmental-chamber monitoring using thermocouples, RTDs and thermistors on dozens of channels at once.
• Reliability and life testing: long-term, unattended logging to non-volatile memory with per-channel alarms for HALT/HASS and endurance programs.
• Power and battery validation: simultaneous voltage, current and temperature on EV battery packs, chargers and power supplies via mixed multiplexer modules.
• Strain and structural testing: direct-strain and bridge-strain measurement for mechanical and structural validation alongside temperature.
• Production and process monitoring: high-speed scanning plus DAQ-907 digital I/O and totalizer functions for line-side data collection and simple control.

The DAQ-9600 supports engineering and manufacturing teams across industrial automation, EV and energy systems, semiconductor and electronics design and aerospace and defence where many channels, mixed sensor types and traceable accuracy all matter.

The DAQ-9600 integrates with other GW Instek measurement instruments, pair it with the GDM-9061/9060 bench DMMs, GDM-9041/9042 series and GDM-9052 for additional precision-DMM channels in an end-to-end test system.
