Individual channel modules that plug into the 3 or 16-channel
recorder condition, amplify, filter, digitize and store the transducer
signals. Simultaneous sampling provides excellent time correlation
between channels and external events. The digitizer is available with
14, 16 or 24-bit resolution and sample rates up to 10 Million samples
per second.
Each channel has two inputs: one for bridges, voltage, RTDs,
potentiometers and thermocouples; the other AC coupled with current
excitation for transducers with built-in electronics. Signal conditioning
includes programmable excitation and completion for ¼, ½ and
full bridge, AC-coupling, automatic balance, voltage and four-step
shunt calibration, programmable gain and a four frequency, eightpole
filter. High-level analog outputs are available.
A high-level instruction set is provided for user programming or
PI580, a Windows application, may be used. Operating parameters
are stored in non-volatile memory and automatically loaded when the
system is powered up or reset. Learn more about PI580 Software.
