M4000S Cobra is based on the highly successful Micro Movements M4000R.

M4000S Cobra benefits from all the strengths of the M4000R in a smaller and lighter package.  The unit also has a larger TFT screen along with both more memory and a bigger disk drive. 

The entire package is simple to use with a standard operating system therefore reducing training time and allowing the user to quickly address his requirements.  The Cobra is easy to configure to a specific task by a technician and once set, can be used by an operator. The unit can operate in a mobile or fixed installation and accommodates 16 channels of differing sensors. The signal conditioning modules used are interchangeable with those already in use by many customers in our existing range of products.


The Complete System in one small box. ..that's the M4000 Cobra, giving comprehensive signal conditioning, recording and analysis under a Windows operating environment.

When we say Real-time.. .ReaI-quick', we mean it. Everything about M4000 is easy...simple set up procedures and online help, together with Windows 95® operating system, make the unit particularly user-friendly with very short learning timescales. However, the icon-based software is an extremely powerful data acquisition and analysis engine that can perform complex real-time analysis and tailor the display to suit most needs and users.

Real time analysis of data.
With the use of the optional time and frequency domain analysis packages, many analyses can be performed in 'real-time' i.e. on the data being gathered. An example would be an engineer adjusting the resonant frequency of a device whilst monitoring a real-time FFT.
SnapMaster software has the power for a wide variety of applications. By selecting from a range of icons on screen and choice of appropriate parameters from drop-down menus, it is easy to create instruments to emulate chart recorders, x-y plotters, oscilloscopes, temperature gauges, and many more designed to meet specific needs. Any instrument can be saved as a file for retrieval at any time.

The heart of the M4000 is our highly acclaimed Series of M1000 signal conditioning modules. These mini-modules allow users to condition any analogue source; sensors requiring excitation are powered direct from the system.

The wide choice of plug-in modules gives operation with strain gauge inputs (1/4, 1/2 & full bridge), thermocouples, PRT's, LVDTs, Rotary/Linear pots, RVDT's, magnetic pickups. Thus pressure, speed, displacement, acceleration, load, flow, vibration, synchro and resolver, together with voltage and current, etc. can be monitored using the appropriate sensors. Special modules can also be designed to suit specific input requirements. To add another measurement parameter to the system is as easy as plugging in a signal conditioning module in the front, connecting the sensor to the rear, and start collecting data. The system is normally configured for 16 channels of analog signal conditioning, but can be readily expanded internally with a further 32 channel mix of high level, digital, thermocouple or counter/timer inputs.

The SnapMaster software incorporates a Sensor Database which automatically converts your data into engineering units (rpm. psi, degrees etc.). Calibration history is tracked to ensure that the scaling data is accurate, up-to-date, and traceable for all sensors.

The waveform analyser provides over 50 powerful time domain analysis functions, decision making, event detection and digital filtering options. The frequency analyser provides frequency domain analysis including Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT), active band analysis, and over 20 frequency domain
analysis functions.

With the frequency analyser, you never have to write a formula. By using the 'point and click' Equation Builder, you can quickly create new calculations and view them in an easy-to-use table. These facilities provide the required answers in the fastest possible time.
Results can be displayed with industry leading graphics simply by choosing from a variety of display types with advanced features such as stripchart emulation, multiple y-axes, data cursors and text markers to notate important data points.

With its modular construction and flexibility, compact size and capability of AC or DC supply operation, the M4000 suits a wide variety of measurement data collection and analysis applications throughout industry and high technology. Industrial Machinery Design Automotive Research Industrial Process Studies Offshore Projects Aerospace Marine Proven areas of use include military, industrial processes, aerospace, automotive, offshore, industrial machinery, die casting diagnostics, test laboratories, etc. With its 'complete system' character and ease-of-use, M4000 solves most measurement problems.
