2. SLICE Overview
For a quick overview of SLICE, please see the SLICE Buyer’s Guide in Appendix A.
SLICE is an ultra small, low power, high shock rated data acquisition system. SLICE is a
standalone system with microprocessor, memory, sensor excitation and signal conditioning
with options for built-in battery and internal sensors. Systems from 3 to hundreds of
channels can be built-up in 3 channel increments.
2.1. SLICE MICRO and SLICE NANO
SLICE comes in two sizes:
! SLICE MICRO (42 x 42 mm)
! SLICE NANO (26 x 31 mm)
They have the exact same function and circuit boards inside. SLICE MICRO has built-
in connectors; SLICE NANO has wires with connectors.
2.2. SLICE Modular Concept
Modular system – Plug multiple SLICEs onto Base SLICE to make a Stack
! Each SLICE “Stack” can accommodate 8 Sensor Input SLICES. Each Bridge
SLICE has 3 analog input channels. You may want multiple “Stacks” if more
channels are needed or placement in different locations makes sense for your
application.
! Each SLICE “Stack” consists of 1 Base SLICE and up to 8 additional Sensor
Input SLICEs.
