isoLynx data acquisition and control system
Dataforth's SLX300 data acquisition and control system features complete flexibility while providing 1500Vrms channel-to-channel and channel-to-system isolation for all channels. In addition, with the exhaustive selection of 8B modules, the mix of I/O functions can be changed at will. There are 89 analog I/O models and 14 industry standard digital models that may be used in SLX300. It may be used as a panel mounted back plane or in a metal, rack mount, 1U height package. Using Dataforth ReDAQ Shape software, almost any low to medium speed data acquisition and control solution can be achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can Dataforth provide calibration reports for modules I purchased?
Yes we can provide calibration reports for the modules that you purchased.

You can either
a) visit https://www.dataforth.com/TestDataReport.aspx to search for Test Report Datasheets by Serial Number or
b) you can send us a list of model numbers and their serial numbers to support@dataforth.com

Is the calibration of Dataforth modules traceable to NIST standards?
Yes, calibration of Dataforth modules is traceable to NIST standards.

Analog Devices announced a last time buy and discontinuance of their signal conditioning modules. Can I replace them with Dataforth signal conditioning modules?
Yes, in general, Dataforth signal conditioning modules are a direct replacement for all Analog Devices signal conditioning modules. e.g. "SCM5B35-xx: Linearized 4-Wire RTD Input Modules" will replace Analog Devices "5B35: Isolated 4 Wire RTD Input Signal Conditioning Module".

Please note that Dataforth signal conditioning modules are RoHS II compliant.

How does the load resistance of a module affect the noise at the output?
Noise at the output of a module is independent of load resistance.

How do I convert an RMS voltage to its corresponding peak voltage?
To convert an RMS voltage to its corresponding peak voltage, you simply take the RMS voltage value and multiply it by the square root of 2, or roughly 1.414.

For example, 1500Vrms corresponds to a peak voltage of 1500 * 1.414 = 2121 Vp

Does Dataforth have an SLX300 system with more than 4 Analog output channels?
No, the microcontroller used for analog I/O on the SLX300 can only support 4 channels of analog output.

Due to resource constraints on my computer, I'm unable to open the three dimensional CAD models provided on your website. Does Dataforth provide two demensional CAD models for download as well?
Two dimensional CAD models can be generated upon customer request. Please contact Customer Service for assistance.
