Imatek Test Systems data capture & analysis

Data Sheet ֖ C3008 >

Imatek data acquisition systems are based around the C3008 controller and a PC running the ImpAcqt software. This is a general-purpose system for analysing the results of high-speed tests, such as impact testing and high-speed servo-hydraulic testing. The C3008 has the following specifications: Analogue channels 4 as standard, 16 optional. All channels sampled simultaneously at the maximum sample rate Digital channel Quadrature encoded input in addition to analogue channels Resolution 16-bit (1 in 65536), no missing codes Sample rate 3,000,000 samples per second (maximum) Sample depth Up to 50,000 samples per channel Gain Input range 10V, ѱ5V, 2.5V, ѱ1.25V software selectable Input mode Differential, bi-polar or uni-polar, selected per channel. Bandwidth 1.5MHz Signal to noise <2 bit system noise Gain error 0.1% maximum Trigger By velocity-measurement laser, external TTL trigger in, analogue channels (trigger level configurable). Rising/falling edge. 0% to 100% pre-triggering. Trigger output. Timing Velocity measurement by time-of-flight, 20ns resolution Digital input 26 channel opto-isolated input Digital output 18 channel NPN output, short-circuit and over-current protected. High speed camera Camera trigger output and lighting controller output to interface to high-speed video systems. See separate data sheet for details. >

High precision laser/detector trigger interfaces directly to the C3008 data acquisition hardware. The T1000 can provide a trigger to the data acquisition when the optical path between the laser and the detector is obscured, and with a suitable target can provide highly accurate, low noise velocity measurement.
