Compact Texcel Monitor

 
Low power + Portable
For portable operation or remote data acquisition, battery power is almost essential. Texcel Research has the skills to design low power devices capable of reliable operation in the field. Battery sources range from lithium and alkaline cells to rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and lead acid batteries with integrated charge management circuits.
  Electronic Design  

Electronic Design
We can provide full electronic design services from specification through schematic capture, to the PCB layout and manufacturing package. Miniature designs using surface mount components is a speciality.

             
Mobile Phone - Communications  

Communications
The ability to communicate with remote or portable equipment for control, configuration or data retrieval is a powerful advantage. We have experience in many communications protocols and standards:

  • GSM modems
  • CDMA modems
  • PSTN modems
  • RS232 serial
  • RS422/485 serial
  • Infrared serial
  Environmental Protection  

Environmental Protection
Equipment used in the field requires a standard of environmental protection substantially higher than laboratory equipment. We can ensure our designs are water-proof and dust-proof by the correct choice of:

  • connectors
  • cables
  • housings
  • enclosures

Sensors & Data Acquisition
With our background in vibration and structural monitoring, we can work with almost any type of active or passive sensor, to measure almost any physical quantity, including:

  • velocity
  • acceleration
  • temperature
  • pressure – gas and fluid
  • strain
  • displacement
  • sound pressure
   
  Correct signal conditioning can enhance the quality of signals from sensors, and reduce the burden on post-acquisition processing or analysis.

Our data acquisition experience covers sampling rates from seconds to microseconds, low noise, and high resolution.
