2. System Overview
With the KiDAQ data acquisition system, Kistler offers
engineers, researchers, measurement technicians and
students the opportunity to combine everything they need
for their measurement task in one setup. Various
measurands and sensors can be used with different data
acquisition hardware and be combined to a unified logical
measurement system just according the application
requirements.
The KiDAQ data acquisition system offers a wide
selection of modules for various sensor technologies and
more than 20 different measurands from simple voltage
signals across measurement bridges and IEPE sensors
to charge signals from piezoelectric sensors.
2.1 Components
2.1.1 KiStudio Lab Software Package
The KiStudio Lab software package consists of two
applications to acquire data with KiDAQ or LabAmp and
for comprehensive data analysis.
Measurement devices are configured efficiently with the
intuitive KiStudio Lab software, which provides an
overview of the whole measurement setup and enables
quick navigation.
Acquired data can be easily exported for analysis with
jBEAM. This powerful post-processing and analysis

Page 6 5500A_002-943e-09.21
software provides both, a comprehensive toolbox for
standard analysis and customizable calculations.
The package is available in two editions Starter or
Professional. For details about the packages please see
the KiDAQ system datasheet 003-335e.
2.1.2 Connectivity with KiConnect
The intelligent KiConnect technology allows the user to
easily combine different measurement units to a logical
measurement setup and perform precise, time-
synchronized measurements thanks to the Precision
Time Protocol (PTP). KiConnect is built up on state-of-
the-art communications standards (TCP/IP and IoT-
principles) and is therefore ready for distributed setups
and cloud applications.
2.1.3 KiDAQ and LabAmp Measurement Devices
The KiDAQ hardware is designed in a modular way and
can be individually configured to match the required
measurement performance and channel count. The
Portable, Rack and DIN Rail models are designed so that
they can be optimally used in various applications.
Detail information, e.g. mechanical drawings, can be
found in the KiDAQ system datasheet 003-335e.
KiDAQ Rack
The 19" rack housing is 3 rack units high (3U) and can be
equipped with one controller and up to 13 selected
measurement modules. The housing is available in two
different versions: for standard 19” racks and with
carrying handle for desktop use.
KiDAQ Portable
The compact and scalable measurement system KiDAQ
Portable can be individually configured with one
controller and up to 13 measurement modules. It is
ideally suited for stationary and mobile measurement

a KiDAQ device with the KiStudio Lab software connect
the LabAmp device with Ethernet cable via the delivered
USB-to-Ethernet converter to the PC. The second device
can then be daisy-chained through the second Ethernet
interface of the LabAmp.
Configure the LabAmp device(s) to use a static IP
address either via the WebUI or the ‘Network Setup
Wizard’ (available on www.kistler.com).
The IP address must be in the range of 192.168.103.xxx
(where xxx must not be .30, .31 or .32), subnet mask
255.255.255.0 should be used. Using the ‘Network Setup
Wizard’, the gateway must be set 192.168.103.31.
After the address settings are saved, the devices will
appear in the device list automatically.
If you use a different USB-to-Ethernet converter than
used during installation or if you have troubles to connect
to the LabAmp device, please see section 9.2 below.
Type 5500A and 2910A

Please Note
If your LabAmp firmware was freshly updated, please
execute a factory reset before first use with KiStudio
Lab.
If you use a different USB-to-Ethernet converter than
used during installation or if you have troubles to
connect to the LabAmp device, please see section 9.2
below.
The used 100 Mbps Ethernet interface can only
handle a limited number of channels at the same time.
This is very dependent on used sampling rates, so no
general rule is available. Please contact your local
Kistler sales or service representative to check if your
specific setup will work. Alternatively, an additional
(PTP-)Switch with Gigabit Ethernet interface can be
used, see chapter 7 below.
