Transient Recording I/O Modules

After acquiring data, the Transient Recording I/O Modules digitise and record it into non-volatile, solid-state memory.   In addition to this, these modules also record calibration, pre-trigger and post-trigger data.  Furthermore, in a typical test scenario a TTL input, program instruction or automatic sequencer initiates the recording of pre-trigger data.  Following this, a TTL input or on-board discriminator then triggers post trigger data recording.

The quantities and sample rates of pre and post-trigger data storage are programmable.  As a result, this configures the transient recorder according to the characteristics of the collected data. Furthermore, users can also change sample rates during acquisition without interrupting data flow to capture high-speed events while maintaining sufficient memory space to record long-term effects. The 5800 is also configurable with multiple records.  For example, each use the same pre and post-trigger sampling profile. Finally, an ethernet interface debriefs and transfers data into permanent storage.

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 1/4, 1/2 and full bridge, AC-coupling, automatic balance, voltage and four-step shunt calibration, programmable gain and a four frequency, eight-pole filter.
