Data acquisition system
25/01/2019
From the entry-level data acquisition system (DAQ) to the high-end transient recorder or even a mix, the GEN2tB is a DAQ that grows with the needs of the user. It has two slots and is therefore very cost effective for small channel counts, while still offering high-end features. Due to its size, it is perfect for portable or even mobile use, while it can also be mounted on a rack for an end-of-line test-bench. The GEN2tB DAQ system can be expanded to up to 12 voltage (or current) channels, 16 high-speed sensor channels, such as strain gauges or accelerometers, or up to 24 channels, using fibre-optical digitisers or any mix of these.In applications where lots of channels should be distributed around a large structure or over a test area, the GEN2tB is the perfect match due to its optical master/slave connection that is immune to electrical noise. The DAQ system includes free Perception standard software, which can be installed on as many PCs as needed to control the system and review acquired data.
With the selection of the right input card, the GEN2tB DAQ can be used for versatile applications.
Using the basic input cards, the GEN2tB can be used to record voltages, or vibrations using IEPE transducers, with up to 16 channels simultaneously at speeds of up to 2 MS/s.
Using the unique, real-time, math-enabled 1 kV input cards turns GEN2tB into a cost-effective, powerful, 12-channel power analyser with real-time power computation and harmonic analysis.
With the universal input card, GEN2tB can be used in materials testing with physical sensors such as strain gauges, IEPE sensors or thermocouples using a sample rate of up to 500 kS/s.
The 250 MS/s input cards can be utilised for ultra-fast voltage or strain gauge measurements, such as the Split-Hopkinson pressure bar or using the fibre optic digitisers in a real high-voltage/high-power environment. www.hbm.com
