Single Shot Data Acquisition System

Sierra Peaks’ single shot data acquisition (SSDAQ) provides a comprehensive software solution that our customers can’t find anywhere else. Our SSDAQ systems capture high sampling rates with hundreds of simultaneous channels to record data for very short events. SSDAQ is a complete software solution that allows researchers to quickly set up new experiments and tests without having to write code.

Our software solution

SSDAQ is a universal data acquisition software product that is ready to use for single-shot, high-value data acquisition applications. It can simultaneously acquire data from multiple data acquisition devices at once—even if those devices are sourced from different vendors. Through the convenient user-interface, customers can easily configure the test system, set up an experiment, check the system status, and view the results. Systems with hundreds of digitizer channels can be up and running in a matter of hours.
