Key Features

1. High-Density 16-Bit Acquisition
   • 64 channels of 16-bit precision, enabling accurate measurement of low-level signals (±250 mV) up to ±10 V.
   • Programmable gain (×1/×10) optimizes resolution for varying input amplitudes.
2. Flexible Channel & Scan Configuration
   • Software-selectable differential/single-ended inputs for noise rejection or cost-effective wiring.
   • Three scan modes (autoscan, single, random) and programmable channel grouping (1/8/16/32/64 channels).
3. Multi-Mode Triggering & Filtering
   • Three trigger sources (software, external, timer) support synchronized sampling with external events.
   • Selectable low-pass filters eliminate industrial noise (50/60 Hz harmonics) for stable data.
4. VMEbus Compliance & Rugged Design
   • Fully compliant with VMEbus standards for seamless integration into 6U VME chassis.
   • Industrial-grade components and wide temperature range ensure reliability in harsh environments.
5. High-Speed Data Throughput
   • Up to 100 kHz sampling rate per channel, ideal for dynamic signal monitoring (vibration, pressure transients).
   • Autoscan mode continuously digitizes channels and streams data to the VMEbus for real-time processing.
