Data Translation has announced the DT9841-VIB, a real-time DSP data acquisition Sleek Box capable of accepting eight simultaneous Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric (IEPE) sensor inputs
The DT9841-VIB is the latest addition to the Fulcrum II series of DSP data acquisition products for USB 2.0.
The DT9841-VIB provides excitation, signal conditioning, and anti-aliasing filtering for real-time high accuracy IEPE sensor values.
According to Fred Molinari, president, founder and CEO of Data Translation: "The DT9841-VIB is ideal for applications requiring piezoelectric accelerometer readings such as automotive test, acoustics, sonar, and rotating machinery.
"This system combines the real-time processing power of the 32-bit DSP chip with high performance analogue and digital functions, at an attractive price".
The DT9841-VIB board contains eight, simultaneous 24-bit sigma-delta analogue input channels with a sampling rate of 100kHz per channel.
In addition, the board has two, 24-bit deglitched waveform analog output channels to control a shaker table for example, and stimulate systems under test, 16 digital I/O lines for control and monitoring, and three 32-bit counter/timers providing highly accurate timing functions.
All subsystems can be run simultaneously and monitored in real time with an on-board 32-bit floating point processor.
With sampling rates up to 100kHz per channel and uninterrupted data transfer, the DT9841-VIB board is ideal for real-time operations.
Extensive and comprehensive Host and DSP communication libraries ship with the board and are compatible with TI Code Composer Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio providing complete access to all on-board real-time functions and communication to/from the PC.
Ready-to-Measure example application programs exercise every board function and get users up and running quickly.
Additionally, this system is supported by Vibrant Technology's ME'scope program for post-processing and analysis of acoustic and vibration test data.
