PCI Express data acquisition-cards for ballistics and explosives testing introduced by Elsys
MONROE, N.Y., 5 June 2014. Elsys Instruments in Monroe, N.Y., is introducing the TPCE-LE PCIe series of high-resolution PCI Express data acquisition-cards for applications where the acquisition of high speed, high resolution and high precision waveform data is of the utmost importance.
Applications of the TPCE-LE PCIe data acquisition waveform digitizing board products include ballistics and explosive tests, acoustic emissions, ultrasonic testing and structural soundness testing, as well as laboratory and university research programs.
The high-resolution digitizers offer advanced trigger modes, continuous data acquisition mode, single-ended and differential inputs, digital input lines, and ICP coupling for powering piezo sensors.
Additional uses include power conversion, renewable power research, and variable frequency drives as well as electrical traction, engine control, fluorescence and phosphorescence decay studies and particle accelerator control.
Included is the TranAX-LE operating and analysis software as well as LabVIEW Instrument driver, C++/C#, and IVI scope class driver. The TPCE-LE modules can be housed in TraNET system such as TraNET FE transient recorders that hold four to 32 single-ended channels or two to 16 differential channels; TraNET EPC industrial computer frame with 16 slots for 64 channels; or TraNET PPC ruggedized portable computer system with six slots for 24 channels.
Elsys recorders have input channels with the ability to be individually triggered. Synchronization can be established with many associated channels. Advanced trigger modes include slew rate, pulse width, pulse pause, period, missing event, window-in and window-out as well as the usual edge pos/neg triggering with trigger hysteresis values set by the user.
