For system integrators SAIL supplies the DAQ card as a standalone product without the housing. This gives users the freedom and flexibility to design in as many or as few DAQ cards according to their requirements. According to Jamie MacAulay from the Sea Mammal Research Unit, “The SAIL DAQ card reduced our acoustic setup from a complex meter square box to a simple, compact system which sat next to our laptop. Not many things that size or price that can synchronously amplify, filter and digitise 12 channels of data at 1MS/s.”
Derek Watson, CEO of St Andrews Instrumentation said, “Companies in the marine, oil and gas, construction and security markets are crying out for our device. Working together with a variety of customers we have designed a device that works both on land and at sea. Anywhere that requires acoustic monitoring. If it makes a sound we can help you.”
