MGCplus & CANHEAD
MGCplus Data Acquisition System
MGCplus: The All-Rounder for Data Acquisition
Whether it is calibration, material, or fatigue testing, the MGCplus data acquisition system has been used in all kinds of applications for more than 25 years.
It acquires data on force, strain, displacement, torque, voltage, current, temperature, and many other parameters.
Owing to this versatility, the MGCplus is one of the most popular data acquisition systems worldwide. This means that it offers proven compatibility, not only within the MGCplus system but also along the entire measurement chain from the sensor to the software.
Due to its cutting-edge architecture, the new MGCplus CP52 communication processor provides many new options and is backward compatible!
