Environmental Sensors

enDAQ Embedded Sensors Include

• An embedded accelerometer with a wide dynamic range to capture low amplitude vibration with high resolution (0.0001g)
• Seven additional environmental sensors, including: gyroscope, temperature, pressure, humidity, light, microphone, and GPS
• The ability to capture shock events up to 2,000g
• Fast sample rates - up to 20,000 Hz

To build an accurate environmental profile quickly and easily, Product and Testing Engineers require an accelerometer with a wide dynamic range to capture low amplitude vibration with high resolution (0.0001g), fast sample rates - up to 20,000 Hz, and the ability to capture shock events up to 2,000g, coupled with additional environmental sensors that include; gyroscope, temperature, pressure, humidity, light, microphone, and GPS. The following software analysis packages, case studies, blog posts and webinars are designed to help. Our products selector guide at the bottom of the page may help to narrow the options for the optimal environmental sensor for your application.

Sensor	Series	Description
	S | W	Vibration Accelerometer: The triaxial piezoelectric accelerometer, when compared to the DC MEMS accelerometer, offers a higher data quality. Piezoelectric accelerometers are the most popular because of their versatility but they have two disadvantages: an AC coupling and their charge amplifier can become saturated during high frequency and/or amplitude shock events. » Specifications
	S | W	Shock Accelerometer: The piezoresistive accelerometer offers similar advantages as the piezoelectric in terms of data quality. But they have the added benefit of being capable of measuring static accelerations and low-frequency vibrations. They also have internal gas damping to widen the dynamic frequency range of the accelerometer. These accelerometers are increasingly becoming more popular for shock and vibration testing applications. » Specifications
	S | W	Light: This sensor is capable of capturing the intensity of visible and ultraviolet light at a rate of 4 Hz. This sensor is not calibrated and is intended for rough, relative measurements only. » Specifications
	S | W	Pressure: External: All enDAQ sensors now include temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor in the external "control pad" (has LEDs and button). This new sensor has improved accuracy and response on its own; but with its external location, the data will be a better representation of ambient conditions.» Specifications Internal: This sensor is still used to compensate for change in sensitivity of the piezoelectric accelerometer over temperature which is why it is still enabled.» Specifications
	S | W	Thermal: External: All enDAQ sensors now include temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor in the external "control pad" (has LEDs and button). This new sensor has improved accuracy and response on its own; but with its external location, the data will be a better representation of ambient conditions.» Specifications Internal: This sensor is still used to compensate for change in sensitivity of the piezoelectric accelerometer over temperature which is why it is still enabled.» Specifications
	S | W	Rotation:All enDAQ sensors now include an embedded "smart sensor hub" that has an integrated triaxial gyroscope, triaxial accelerometer, triaxial geomagnetic sensor and a microcontroller for intelligently fusing raw data from the 9 sensors.» Specifications
	S | W	External Humidity:All enDAQ sensors now include temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor in the external "control pad" (has LEDs and button). This new sensor has improved accuracy and response on its own; but with its external location, the data will be a better representation of ambient conditions. » Specifications
	W	Sound: The microphone records at the same rate as the other analog channels (up to 20 kHz) and was added for W series devices.» Specifications
	W	GPS: The W series units have a GPS module that can record: Latitude and Longitude; Speed in m/s; Epoch time (number of seconds since 1/1/1970)» Specifications
