CS-5008 - Description
The CS-5008-FD is part of the imc C-SERIES, offering compact, modular, and highly accurate measurement capability in a portable housing. Designed for precision signal acquisition and processing, it supports multiple input types—voltage, current, and full/half/quarter bridge—with real-time evaluation and storage.
It includes 8 analog inputs with advanced filtering and sampling up to 100 kHz per channel, 4 analog outputs (±10 V, 16-bit), 4 counter channels, and 16 digital I/Os. Integrated CAN FD nodes enable communication with vehicle ECUs and expansion via CAN-based systems such as imc CANSAS.
The CS-5008-FD can run fully autonomously or be PC-controlled. With built-in supercapacitor UPS, it maintains data integrity during unexpected power loss. Additional options include internal WiFi, external GPS synchronization, and web-based remote access. It operates with imc STUDIO software and supports real-time automation, control logic, and intelligent triggering for a wide range of R&D and industrial testing applications.
