1.1 MX100 System Overview
The MX100 Data Acquisition Unit consists of (1) the main module equipped with an
Ethernet port, (2) input/output modules that perform input or output of signals, and (3) the
base plate that attaches and connects the modules. By connecting the main module and
a PC via the Ethernet interface and installing the dedicated software program indicated
below into the PC, you can configure the acquisition conditions of the measured data
from the PC as well as monitor and acquire the measured data on the PC. One to 20
MX100 Data Acquisition Units can be connected to a single PC (one unit using the
MX100 Standard Software, one to 20 units (or up to 1200 input channels) using the
MXLOGGER).
