The Fluke 2640A NetDAQ is a networked data acquisition unit that combines universal analog inputs, digital I/O, and thermocouple measurement capability in a single distributed system. It acquires data from multiple sensor types simultaneously and transmits results across Ethernet networks, enabling remote monitoring and control across industrial and laboratory environments. Expandable to 400 channels using up to twenty units in networked configuration.
