Overview
The Granite™ Volt 116 easily expands the channel count on your data acquisition system. It has 16 differential or 32 single-ended input channels, as well as four excitation channels. It provides programmable, precision excitation for standard sensor measurements and power outputs for controlling sensors and peripherals. The Volt 116 features a 24-bit, analog-to-digital converter with low-noise performance for superior analog measurements.

Other Accessories
(2)DAQ Case 15
Data Acquisition (DAQ) Laboratory and Field Case
The DAQ Case 15 is a cost-effective and convenient carrying case for your valuable data acquisition equipment. This case is specifically configured for GRANITE™ Data Acquisition Systems and Campbell Scientific data loggers. The DAQ Case 15 is optimized for applications that require easy transport in a lab, in the field, or for short-term deployments.
OrderableGranite Chassis
GRANITE Data Acquisition Systems Chassis
The Granite™Chassis is a platform for housing a complete GRANITE system. The Granite Chassis can hold up to eight modules, which may include the DAQ (Granite™10, Granite™9, or Granite™6), CH400, and additional GRANITE measurement modules. Portability and protection are fundamental to the design, delivering optimal system performance in demanding conditions—especially when heat must be dissipated quickly. Up to five panel faces (four top, one rear) can be customized to mount a wide variety of connectors, providing rapid connection to the DAQ system, which is ideal for time-sensitive or repetitive testing applications. As a GRANITE system scales to larger arrays of sensors and supporting GRANITE modules, several additional Granite Chassis can be daisy-chained to expand the GRANITE DAQ network. With the optional Rackmount Slide-Rail Kit, the Granite Chassis can be easily mounted in a standard four-post server rack cabinet.

Software ApplicationsThe CPI Calculator is a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet used to estimate the usage and capacity of a CPI network. The calculator provides an overview on CPI devices including the CDM-A108, CDM-A116, CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305, and the CSAT3B. The calculator can also estimate the measurement speed of the CDM-A108 and CDM-A116 based on the number of channels and measurement parameters. The CPI Calculator is an estimation tool and will help you better understand and design CPI networks by considering the following: What is the capability of each CDM or CPI device What is the CPI network capacity How much of the CPI capacity are the CDMs or CPI devices using
