DTX-9417
Integrated Signal Conditioning Data Recorder
Overview:
The DTX-9000 series of data acquisition systems provide state-of-the-art
signal processing for a variety of environmental test sensors
along with embedded wideband data recording in a compact chassis.
A comprehensive user GUI running on the embedded Windows OS
can be used locally with the addition of a user keyboard,
mouse and video terminal, or run remotely via the integrated
Ethernet connection.
Key Features
Comprehensive Graphical User Interface for ease of
operation
The control panel
GUI allows intuitive access to all signal conditioning
parameters and ease of recording control through
the “recording manager”. Control
chassis level functions, such as Record, Load,
Save and Calibrate with a single click, or adjust
individual channel conditioning parameters through
an expanded window.
Local or remote operation with key lockout feature
Software drivers allow
for ease of integration of all conditioner
setup
and recording functions into turn key user solutions.
All parameters can be initialized through
a simple
set of command line instructions or loaded from
a preset spreadsheet configuration
file.
Synchronous data recording/monitoring at remote workstations
The use of standard Ethernet TCP/IP networking
allows Monitor and Control Workstations to
be
located at physically separate locations limited
only by available networking hardware and
bandwidth
requirements.
64 channels in a standard 5U rack mount chassis
The DTX-9417 chassis
contains all of the input and output connections
required
to support up to 64 channels of data acquisition
along with four additional IO ports for user
customization.
Synchronous expansion to 1280+ channels
Any chassis may be used as a Master Clock and
Synchronous Trigger source by connecting
the Clock and Sync BNC output connectors to the
corresponding input Clock and Sync BNC connectors
of all Slave chassis with standard coaxial cabling.
No special cards or wiring harnesses are required
for interconnection.
DC to 800 kHz analog bandwidth (2 MHz sampling)
The use of 16X over-sampling
delta-sigma A/D converters combined with front
end anti-alias filter protection and a dedicated
DSP per channel optimize signal bandwidth
recording
capabilities.
Local and remote data storage with redundant drives
DataMAX monitor/review
software can be loaded to multiple workstations
for real time monitoring of input signal activity
or review of previously recorded data.
Removable storage media for secure or other sensitive
applications
The DTX-9417 chassis
configuration utilizes removable drive cartridges
for both operational
program and recorded data files. Removing the
drive cartridge “cleans” the device
of all storage media while allowing for secure
transfer and control of sensitive data files.
Automated Multi-Mode signal conditioning modules
Multi-Mode signal conditioning
modules handle multiple transducer types within
a single module. This provides extra flexibility
for test scenarios where the number and type
of transducers
are either not known prior to test setup or are
regularly reconfigured for different test
paradigms.
Analog
signal outputs for ancillary monitor or analysis functions
Each conditioned and
digitized signal is continuously reconstructed
as a buffered
analog output, which is available for monitoring
or analysis with additional instrumentation.
Enhanced
features
The
flexible architecture and parallel computing
power of the DTX-9000 series lends itself to
a multitude of extras built upon R.C. Electronics
past 28 years of experience in building high
end instrumentation.
Voice memo and marker
annotation
IRIG B time code embedded within recorded
data
Variable
sample rates per channel
Fault tolerant design with isolated channels
(single input amp, A/D, and DSP per channel)
Redundant power supply and drive configurations
Front panel Status and Signal Overload
LED
indicators
Compact, rugged 6 side shielded signal conditioning
modules
External trigger and clock synchronization
for up to 1280 channels
Comprehensive Graphical User Interface for ease of
operation
