Dragonfly is a high quality modular data acquisition system intended for applications ranging from ultra-portable small channel count mobile field based needs to large scale fixed installations of hundreds of synchronous channels.
Dragonfly is completely compatible with HGL’s existing range of data acquisition, real-time monitoring, analysis and archiving systems, and due to its network based architecture can be integrated into third-party or customer bespoke systems with ease.
Dragonfly is small enough to fit easily in a laptop bag, and lightweight enough (at < 1 kg) for easy transport to remote sites. As such it makes an ideal measurement system with a standard laptop for personal / consultancy field work. However, the standard Dragonfly is also able to be linked with other units to create large multi-purpose systems simply by sliding it together with one or more other modules, and connecting a few simple cables (power, sync, and Ethernet).
Dragonfly can be fitted with a number of internal signal conditioning cards which further extend its capabilities and benefits to end users.
