DS(R)" Module - Display Driver & Sensor Input Module ( with optional Recorder)

 

 

Note: Multi-Function Recorder (MFR)

The products on this page were released before the introduction of Stack's Multi-Function Recorder, a single box data recording solution. There may be applications when a modular approach is still the better way forward. Please contact us for assistance in finding the best solution for your application.

DS(R)  Module

 

 
 

The DS Display Driver Module can drive a wide choice of analogue dials and LCD read-outs, allowing up to 7 LCD read-out modules and 2 analogue dials to be connected.

Our standard LCD read-out module is a 40 character alphanumeric display which can display up to 6 parameters on the visible display layer. This can be configured with multiple - user selectable - display layers that allows the operator to select the most appropriate layer for different Applications.

Optionally this module can be supplied with a 0.5Mbyte of solid-state memory and records 20 channels of data at up to 50Hz per channel.

In addition the Display Driver Module features an intelligent alarm capability so that whenever any monitored parameter exceeds a threshold level, a plain text warning message is �popped up� on the LCD and a choice of 4 alarm warning lights illuminated.

The Display Driver Module provides control switch inputs for manually starting & stopping data recording and for adding markers to the data, as well as providing a dedicated infrared switch input.

In addition this module has direct sensor inputs for 5 low resolution configurable inputs, a dedicated RPM signal input and 2 pulse inputs. It also has an RS232 data link that can be used for sending data to a telemetry modem or for receiving data from another system (e.g. engine ecu).
