Introduction
In a world where industrial automation and smart manufacturing are rapidly evolving, precision data acquisition has become essential for enhancing production efficiency.
GW Instek, a trusted name in the production of testing and measurement instruments, has recently launched an innovative lineup of smart measurement solutions. This includes its flagship
GDM-9061 Digital Multimeter, the versatile
DAQ-9600 Data Acquisition System, and the expanded
GDM-9000 series, which consists of five specialized models:
GDM-9041, 9042, 9052, 9060, and
9061.
The Significance of Efficient Testing
These state-of-the-art solutions have been meticulously developed to assist industries such as semiconductors, electric vehicles (EVs), and AI server manufacturers. These advancements aim to substantially reduce testing time by up to
50%, effectively lowering production costs. Together, these offerings create an integrated ecosystem of smart measuring tools geared towards industrial inspection, laboratory research and development, as well as production automation—a journey that GW Instek aptly refers to as "from seed to tree."
DAQ-9600: Pioneering Data Acquisition
The
DAQ-9600 stands out as GW Instek’s flagship model, sporting a scalable modular architecture that supports up to
seven interchangeable modules (DAQ-900/901/903/904/907/908/909). In addition to functioning as a high-density switching device, it allows flexible configuration with various sensor modules for voltage, temperature, humidity, and more. The system can handle up to
120 measurement channels using the DAQ-903 module, enabling engineers to perform extensive battery pack tests that cover all pertinent parameters, including temperature, voltage, and impedance—all within a single integrated solution.
Compared to traditional solutions that utilize multiple daisy-chained devices, the
DAQ-9600 significantly cuts down setup time and procurement costs, making it particularly advantageous for automotive manufacturing lines that require frequent retooling and high throughput. GW Instek’s
DAQ-909 module extends the voltage measurement range to support
DC 600V / AC 400V, effectively addressing the needs presented by modern high-voltage power supplies and battery modules. This cutting-edge system features a
4.3-inch color display, a resolution of
6.5 digits, and an impressive
DC accuracy of 0.0035%, along with a modular expansion design that is tailored to meet the growing demands of modern engineering teams focused on high precision and operational efficiency.
GDM-9000 Series: Redefining Digital Multimeter Value
The newly launched
GDM-9000 series digital multimeters, including models
GDM-9041, 9042, 9052, 9060, and
9061, cater to a broad range of applications, from basic electrical measurements to advanced functional tests. The flagship
GDM-9061 boasts an unprecedented
6.5-digit resolution and a leading DC accuracy of
0.0035%, with a maximum measurement speed of
10,000 readings per second. Consequently, it facilitates static parameter scans of power components in mere seconds, amplifying efficiency over conventional multimeters by more than tenfold and drastically reducing validation cycles in the semiconductor sector.
A standout feature of this series is its
dual-display design, which simultaneously presents voltage and current values. For newcomers to the field, models like the
GDM-9052 and
904x come equipped with AI-powered intelligent measurement functionality. This innovative feature automatically identifies signal types and selects the appropriate measurement mode, mitigating risks of device damage from incorrect settings and enhancing user-friendliness, especially for beginners.
Proven Success in the Asia-Pacific
The
DAQ-9600 has rapidly gained reputation in critical sectors throughout the Asia-Pacific region, recognized for its performance, adaptability, and locally tailored support. Proven applications of the DAQ-9600 include:
- - Thermal efficiency analysis for AI server power supplies
- - Thermal ramp tests of power supplies in AI servers
- - Impedance shifts in PCBs under mechanical loads
- - Calibration of chambers with consistent temperature and humidity
- - Semiconductor process monitoring
- - Battery testing and ATE integration
These applications underscore the
DAQ-9600’s adaptability in growth-driven, high-precision environments.
Bridging Benchtop and System Integration Gaps
GW Instek highlights the significance of expanding this product ecosystem as it fills a critical gap between traditional benchtop devices (like the GDM-9000 series) and scalable system-level solutions (DAQ systems). This integration facilitates a seamless transition from laboratory research to production automation. “In an era defined by the quest for speed and accuracy, GW Instek sets a new standard for intelligent measurements,” stated a company representative. “We invite our partners and users to experience this leap—from DMM to DAQ—and redefine what precision and efficiency mean within their workflows. Together, we can shape the future of intelligent testing and measurement techniques—from the testing bench to large-scale deployments.”
