The DTS SLICE series is the world's leading miniature, modular, and rugged data acquisition (DAQ) system, specifically engineered for extreme testing environments such as crash, blast, in-dummy measurements, and high-shock applications. With ultra-compact form factors – particularly the NANO and MICRO modules measuring only a few centimeters – SLICE systems can be embedded directly inside test articles without influencing structural dynamics or measurement accuracy.
The modular architecture allows multiple SLICE modules to be stacked together to support dozens of measurement channels while maintaining a very small footprint. The system records data directly to onboard flash memory and supports a wide variety of sensor inputs including bridge, IEPE, thermocouple, and voltage signals. Several specialized variants are available to address different testing environments, including IP68-rated modules for water and dust protection, HG versions capable of withstanding shocks up to 20,000 g, SLICE6 AIR designed for in-dummy wireless-style data collection, and SLICE PRO systems intended for modular laboratory and crash testing setups.
SLICE systems are supported by powerful software tools such as SLICEWare and DataPRO, which enable fast system configuration, automatic sensor recognition, and real-time data monitoring. These platforms simplify the setup process while providing reliable data management for demanding test environments.
With exceptional reliability, sampling rates reaching hundreds of kS/s, and the ability to operate fully standalone without a continuous PC connection, the DTS SLICE platform has become a preferred solution for automotive safety testing, aerospace validation, military research, and biomechanics applications worldwide.
