Q18 Data Loggers
The most advanced and versatile family of loggers
from Datapaq
These loggers go where no logger has gone before. Whether you
need ultra low height, an incredibly narrow footprint, or up to 12
channels with rapid sampling, a Q18 logger is your best choice.
Built with legendary Datapaq durability and accuracy, these
loggers give years of reliable profiling.
• Ultra-fast USB connection
• Small footprint: less than 63.5 mm (2.5 in) wide,
12.7 mm (0.5 in) high
• Rapid charging
The environmentally friendly NiMH battery charges from flat
to usable in five minutes. A full charge takes only two hours and
lasts 150 runs. That eliminates daily recharging and the need to
store batteries. And with ‘hot data’ protection, data cannot be
accidentally erased before downloading.
System Enhancements
Easy Oven Setup (EOS)
Automatic Recipe Definition
No more wasted assemblies. No more wasted time
with trial-and-error
profiling. EOS assures
you get it right the
first time. And, it’s the
fastest way to set up
your reflow oven for
new assemblies.
Three simple steps are required:
1. Profile the product in the reflow oven, enabling our
software to calculate the thermal characteristics
of the product or PCB assembly.
2. Enter the profile process limits using as much
or as little detail as you require.
3. CLICK and the software will select the oven settings
required to obtain the optimum profile
for these limits.
Surveyor™
Process Monitoring WITHOUT Test Boards
The Datapaq Surveyor provides an easy and accurate way
to monitor the thermal performance of your reflow oven.
With its special sensors, the Surveyor can identify out of
tolerance conditions
before they become a
problem. This system
eliminates the need
for test boards, while
simplifying your
profiling process.
Consisting of an adjustable frame, fixed sensors and the all
new surveyor software, this is the industry’s most reliable
oven performance monitor.
Wave Solder Pallet
Easy, accurate measurement without
complicated tools
Combine your Datapaq system with our wave solder
pallet to get repeatable wave process information. Now
it’s easy to monitor the
preheat chip and main
waves of your machine.
Insight software will analyze
the parallelism, contact
time, contact length and
even the conveyor speed
automatically. And you
can view all these critical
parameters in one easy-toread
report
