Develop a Shock, Vibration and Environment Profile with Ease & Confidence. Then Analyze and Act!
The enDAQ Platform (sensors, software & Customer Success team) has been developed for Product & Testing Engineers to quickly and accurately characterize a vibration, shock or environmental profile, upload the data, analyze it and act upon the results - without the need for a full DAQ system.
enDAQ Application Areas
Trusted Worldwide
Since we started selling our “Slam Stick” sensors in 2014 we have quickly built up an impressive customer base of thousands of companies across all major industries and around the world. Here is just a snapshot of some of the recognizable names among our customers - we cater to both large and small companies.
enDAQ's Advantage - Convenient. Adaptable. Reliable.
Convenient
- Intuitive operation to acquire data quickly
- Portable sensing systems to go anywhere
- Intuitive software to analyze data with no training necessary
- eCommerce for fast product delivery
Our intuitive software allows our customers with no testing and analysis experience to utilize our sensors to understand their environment. This enables our customers to better develop new and better products and systems.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have highly skilled engineering customers with years of testing and analysis experience. These customers value the portability of our sensors. Our sensors enable them to gather data in locations and applications which are inaccessible with traditional sensing equipment.
Adaptable
- Selectable sensor packages to measure exactly what you need
- Configurable device settings to measure when and how you need
- Configurable software to analyze how and what you need
Every testing application is unique: each has different environmental considerations and goals - being an engineering R&D team first we understand this firsthand. We have made ensuring our platform is configurable by the end user to meet their specific needs a significant focus of our development.
Our success in achieving this configurable design is evident by our customer base. We don’t have a handful of customers buying thousands of units. We have thousands of customers buying a handful of units. Each and every customer is doing something a little different, yet they are all able to configure our sensors to meet their needs.
Reliable
- Calibrated accelerometers to ensure accuracy and repeatability
- Systems made in the USA to ensure quality
- Tons of data storage to capture all the information about the environment
- Rugged design to survive in harsh environments
Due to the portability of our devices, many of our customers are using our sensors in applications and environments where they may only have one shot to get the data. This requires our customers to trust that the device will survive, capture all the data they need (not just peak metrics), and capture accurate data. After all, the data our sensors capture will be used to make important decisions.
Our Specifications
Here are some major differentiators over our competitors:
More Data
- Storage capacity measured in billions of samples for a more in-depth and accurate representation of the test environment
- High sampling rates: up to 20 kHz per channel
More Embedded Sensors
Each of our enDAQ sensors has within it a primary accelerometer and the following additional embedded sensors. For specific sensor specifications please visit our Help Center: » Sensor Specifications
| Sensor | Series | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
S | W | Vibration Accelerometer: The triaxial piezoelectric accelerometer, when compared to the DC MEMS accelerometer, offers a higher data quality. Piezoelectric accelerometers are the most popular because of their versatility but they have two disadvantages: an AC coupling and their charge amplifier can become saturated during high frequency and/or amplitude shock events. » Specifications |
 |
S | W | Shock Accelerometer: The piezoresistive accelerometer offers similar advantages as the piezoelectric in terms of data quality. But they have the added benefit of being capable of measuring static accelerations and low-frequency vibrations. They also have internal gas damping to widen the dynamic frequency range of the accelerometer. These accelerometers are increasingly becoming more popular for shock and vibration testing applications. » Specifications |

S | W | Light: This sensor is capable of capturing the intensity of visible and ultraviolet light at a rate of 4 Hz. This sensor is not calibrated and is intended for rough, relative measurements only. » Specifications |

Pressure: External: All enDAQ sensors now include temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor in the external "control pad" (has LEDs and button). This new sensor has improved accuracy and response on its own; but with its external location, the data will be a better representation of ambient conditions.» Specifications Internal: This sensor is still used to compensate for change in sensitivity of the piezoelectric accelerometer over temperature which is why it is still enabled.» Specifications |

S | W | External Humidity:All enDAQ sensors now include temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor in the external "control pad" (has LEDs and button). This new sensor has improved accuracy and response on its own; but with its external location, the data will be a better representation of ambient conditions. » Specifications |
 |
W | Sound: The microphone records at the same rate as the other analog channels (up to 20 kHz) and was added for W series devices.» Specifications |
 |
W | GPS: The W series units have a GPS module that can record: Latitude and Longitude; Speed in m/s; Epoch time (number of seconds since 1/1/1970)» Specifications |
