PC-based data acquisition system

28 May 2008 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The new SL1000 from Yokogawa is a PC-based data acquisition unit designed to provide high-speed data-logging and fast data transfer in electro-mechanical and power measurement applications.

Featuring 100 MSps sampling on 16 channels and isolated inputs for high-voltage measurements, the SL1000 is also equipped as standard with intuitive, easy-to-use logging and control software for quick startup and setup.

In addition to its high-speed acquisition, the SL1000 will transfer data to a PC or record to its internal hard drive at rates up to 1,6 MSps. Data transfer is via USB 2.0 or 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. A standalone mode also allows data-logging without a PC.

The high-speed acquisition rate of 100 MSps is maintained across all 16 channels, and is also available on a new 12-bit 1 kV isolation module with 20 MHz bandwidth. Acquisition trigger modes include normal, single and single (N) condition. The SL1000 supports parallel testing, and can perform measurements simultaneously on up to four groups of signals with independent sample rates.

Eight module slots are provided for plug-in modules, of which 12 types are currently available for parameters including voltage, temperature, strain, acceleration and frequency. Each module incorporates its own analog/digital converter, and the instrument incorporates 'plug-and-play' automatic recognition of units and modules.
