I'm in charge of the development division for long term reliability in refrigerators. In order to confirm that we've met the strict criterion for endurance reliability (10 years or more), we make use of the DA100 Data Acquisition Unit. At present we gather data continuously from 1200 points (on four DA100s), and we're satisfied with the high reliability of the DA100 itself.

Up to now we read in data from a chopper bar recorder, and then re-input the data values into a PC. But now we can record the data directly onto the computer and that has increased our efficiency.

I'm in charge of the development division for new refrigerator products. Up to now, when carrying out refrigerator performance tests we would use one chopper bar recorder per refrigerator, but now with just one of these DA100s we can record the temperature test data from multiple refrigerators and that has saved a lot of space.

We also use the WT1000 for energy savings testing. We can combine that data with the data from the DA100 and work with it on the PC all as one data set.
