With the classic network switch in Dragonfly case format, Dragonfly amplifiers can be connected bundled to a PC or to a larger network. In combination with a Dragonfly PoE (Power over Ethernet) module, this switch can be used to power Dragonfly amplifiers. •,10x 1GB/s Ethernet ports (8 ports with PoE support) •,Bundle the data streams from multiple Dragonfly amplifiers to forward them to a PC or laptop. •,Front LEDs to indicate connection and power supply via PoE.

With the Dragonfly PoE (Power over Ethernet) module, amplifiers connected via a Dragonfly network switch can be powered via the network cable. •,Maximum output power of 150W to power up to 8 Dragonfly or 3 Hummingbird32 amplifiers. •,Less cabling required, as the power supply is ensured via the network cable.

The Dragonfly battery is designed to enable measurements in areas where power is not available from the local power grid. •,Capacity of 100Wh (power supply of a typical Dragonfly amplifier for up to 10h runtime) •,One battery module can also power several Dragonfly amplifiers (with correspondingly shortened runtime) •,Several modules can be combined to extend battery life. •,Can be used as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

HGL offers tailor-made PC solutions that have been specially developed to form a holistic measurement system in combination with HGL amplifiers. The PCs offer sufficient power reserves and storage capacity to operate several measuring devices in parallel on one computer and are compact in design. The compatibility with the existing measurement hardware was tested in numerous test series. Different form factors offer different ways to accommodate the computer hardware. In the 19" format, installation in measuring cabinets is no problem. Other form factors offer the option of mounting the PC directly to the back of a monitor. Network switches integrated into the PC hardware provide additional flexibility and clarity when setting up and operating complex measurement systems.
