Data Translation Announces Real-Time DSP Sleek Box for Vibration Applications.MARLBORO Marlboro or Marlborough (märl`bərō), city (1990 pop. 31,813), Middlesex co., E Mass.; settled on the site of a Native American village 1657, inc. as a city 1890. , Mass. -- Data Translation today announced the DT9841-VIB, a real-Time DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive data acquisition Sleek Box capable of accepting eight simultaneous IEPE sensor inputs. The DT9841-VIB is the latest addition to the Fulcrum(R) II Series of DSP data acquisition products for USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0. The DT9841-VIB provides excitation, signal conditioning, and anti-aliasing filtering for real-time high accuracy IEPE sensor values. According to Fred Molinari, President, Founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Data Translation, "The DT9841-VIB is ideal for applications requiring piezoelectric The property of certain crystals that causes them to produce voltage when a mechanical pressure is applied to them such as sound vibrations. This technique is used to build crystal microphones, phonograph cartridges and strain gauges, all of which turn mechanical movement into voltage. accelerometer accelerometer Instrument that measures acceleration. Because it is difficult to measure acceleration directly, the device measures the force exerted by restraints placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body. readings such as automotive test, acoustics, sonar, and rotating machinery. This system combines the real-time processing power of the 32-bit DSP chip with high performance analog and digital functions, at an attractive price." The DT9841-VIB board contains eight, simultaneous 24-bit sigma-delta analog input channels with a sampling rate of 100 kHz per channel. In addition, the board has two, 24-bit deglitched waveform analog output channels to control a shaker table for example, and stimulate systems under test, 16 digital I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output lines for control and monitoring, and three 32-bit counter/timers providing highly accurate timing functions. All subsystems can be run simultaneously and monitored in real-time with an on-board 32-bit floating point processor. With sampling rates up to 100 kHz per channel and uninterrupted data transfer, the DT9841-VIB board is ideal for real-time operations. The DT9841-VIB Sleek Box supports the following software programmable IEPE functions for each of its eight analog inputs; --Current source - Enable or disable the use of a 4 mA current source --AC/DC coupling - Select whether AC coupling or DC coupling is used --Filtering - Enable or disable the use of the 2-pole, 10 kHz, Butterworth filter. Extensive and comprehensive Host and DSP communication libraries ship with the board and are compatible with TI Code Composer Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms providing complete access to all on-board real-time functions and communication to/from the PC. Ready-to-Measure(TM) example application programs exercise every board function and get users up and running quickly. Additionally, this system is supported by Vibrant Technology's(R) ME'scope program for post-processing and analysis of acoustic and vibration test data. Availability and Pricing The DT9841-VIB, available in a Sleek Box version is priced at $5,690 and is shipping immediately. |
