TecQuipment's in-house developed software, VDAS® (Versatile Data Acquisition System) has been tailored to operate in perfect harmony with the TecQuipment products to maximise learning potential.

The digital system is easy to set-up and use with simple USB connections. It provides real-time data-capture, calculation, charting and data export. In some cases, real-time traces of analogue signals and advanced signal processing are possible.

VDAS® consists of both hardware and software.

VDAS® Hardware

The hardware comes in three different options.

• VDAS® On Board: the hardware is integrated into the teaching product as standard and requires no additional hardware to be purchased. All products with a ‘V’ at the end of the product code have VDAS On Board eg EC1501V.

   

• VDAS® Bench Mounted: the hardware is a separately purchased unit that sits on a bench that can serve many bench-top pieces of VDAS®-compliant equipment in a laboratory.

   

• VDAS® Frame Mounted: the hardware is a separately purchased frame-mounted unit designed to work with larger pieces of equipment.
