V ADVERTORIALS Wide choice of battery options for OKW’s handheld
DATEC-POCKET-BOX OKW’s robust DATEC-POCKET-BOX can now accommodate N, AA, AAA and 9 V cells for a wide range of handheld electronics.
These pocket-sized plastic enclosures are ideal for measurement and control, remote controls, pulse generation for ultrasound and infrared, sensors, optoelectronics, mobile data recording and wireless communications.
Ergonomic DATEC-POCKET-BOX’s thin
profile makes it comfortable to hold, with easily-machinable flat surfaces for adding interfaces.
The operating area is recessed to protect a membrane keypad or product label. The front face is clear polished (sizes M, L) for efficient infrared signals. Inside, there are internal fastening pillars for PCBs.

Digilent’s data acquisition
Digilent’s data acquisition is used to convert everyday analog, electrical and physical signals from transducers that measure voltage, temperature, pressure, and flow to mention a few and digitizes the signal for processing by the embedded system’s processor. Our data acquisition devices are one of the key components in an embedded system and are used to make vital decisions based on the data collected and analyzed. These systems are used in several industries like scientific research, life sciences, aerospace, and the medical industry to name a few. Scientific research thrives on the ability to meticulously monitor and analyze physical phenomena. DAQ systems are instrumental in this process, enabling researchers to collect data on a wide range of parameters like temperature, pressure, motion, and more. This “tech data acquisition,” as it’s often referred to, allows for real-time monitoring and analysis during laboratory experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. Imagine studying chemical reactions or biological processes with only a pencil, paper, and your eyes to record significant measurements – with DAQ, researchers can capture crucial data points in real time, fostering a deeper understanding of the scientific phenomena at play.
In the field of medicine, DAQ plays a vital role in recording physiological data for diagnostic purposes. Electrocardiograms (ECG), electroencephalograms (EEG), and electromyograms (EMG) – all rely on DAQ systems to capture electrical signals from the heart, brain, and muscles, respectively. This vital data allows medical professionals to diagnose and monitor various conditions.

The aerospace in- dustry relies on DAQ systems to manage the intricate complexities of
modern aircraft. From monitoring engine
performance to tracking critical parameters like temperature and pressure in real-time, DAQ ensures the safe and efficient operation of these marvels of engineering.
Protecting our environment necessitates continuous monitoring of various environmental metrics. DAQ systems are deployed to track air quality, humidity, and temperature levels across different locations.
Manufacturing thrives on precise control and streamlined processes. DAQ systems are utilized to monitor temperature and pressure in chemical plants, ensuring optimal reaction conditions. Additionally, in robotic assembly lines, “machine data acquisition” provides valuable insights into the operation of robots, enabling predictive maintenance and preventing costly downtime.
The benefits of DAQ extend far beyond the examples mentioned here. MCC has been a leading provider of OEM DAQ products since 1989 and has a wide selection of data acquisition (DAQ) devices in a board only format (OEM) that will support requirements.
OKW can supply DATEC-POCKET-BOX fully customised. Services include machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding and installation/ assembly of accessories.
