The 6005 Mainframe is DC operated and ruggedized for mobile systems.
The USB version with ten input/output slots accommodates up to 80
strain gage or bridge transducers, thermocouples, LVDTs, RTDs, voltage
or current channels with amplifier per channel architecture. Systems
can also be configured with test sequencers, digital inputs and outputs
and a DSP control processor that can implement PID control loops and
display and record derived measurement parameters.
This mainframe supports all Series 6000 signal conditioning and I/O
modules. All connections are made on the front allowing it to be located
in the tightest of spaces. It has integral fans that supply
cooling air to the modules and power supply.
The 10-slot 6005U has a USB 2.0 control and data interface that
achieves data rates in excess of 4 million samples per second and is
compatible with the USB ports on most computers including laptops.
Like other 6000 mainframes, it supports systems of up to 4096 channels
using slave enclosures.
The 9-slot 6005 mainframe with IEEE-488 GPIB interface achieves data
rates to 800K samples per second. It includes a 2 million-word ring
buffer for event data capture and supports PCM and SCRAMNet data output
options. PCM output is IRIG 106, Ch. 4 compatible and SCRAMNet
provides high-speed, low-latency, cross-platform data output.
Each input/output module requires a connector panel when used in the
6005 Mainframe enclosure. These panels provide input and output signal
connections on the front of the enclosure to facilitate wiring and
cable routing in compact installations.
