The software
The board supports DC and carrier-frequency excitation, allowing you to choose either a wider dynamic
range or a higher noise immunity, as well as a 5 – 24 V supply for active transducers.
Remote sensing is included to ensure measurement accuracy and enable ratiometric measurements.
See the HBK FUSION datasheet for specifications.
CCLD board
CCLD Board B301D-12 has 12 input channels and is designed for CCLD
1
transducers.
The benefit of CCLD is that the same wire is used for both the signal and the supply current. Even TEDS data
can be transmitted over the same wire. This enables the use of costeffective coaxial cables and SMB
connectors popularly used in general applications.
Both CCLD and direct input transducers are supported, including microphones and accelerometers, for
general sound and vibration measurements.
See the HBK FUSION datasheet for specifications.
Blank board
Blank Board B701 is functionless board that is required to fill a frame (if not all slots are in use by an input
board). For example, a single input board can be ordered and mounted in a frame, as long as 15 blank
boards are in the remaining slots.
The software
HBK ADVANTAGE provides for hardware configuration, basic data acquisition and a rich set of standard
functionalities paving the way into the future. It is a native Windows
®
installation with a 64-bit architecture
that supports multiple cores for the highest data throughput and smooth workflow.
The core application of HBK ADVANTAGE is initially designed for general purpose static and fatigue test
applications and will expand to include sound and vibration capabilities.
See the HBK ADVANTAGE datasheet for specifications.
Optional mobile app
The HBK COMPANION app enables you to set up a project ahead of testing by scanning devices and sensors
and identifying measurement positions and channel configurations. By importing the setup in HBK
ADVANTAGE, sensor and channel configuration is automated. Thanks to the synchronization between HBK
COMPANION and HBK ADVANTAGE, pictures and other documentation of the setup can be automatically
assigned to the sensors.
See the HBK COMPANION datasheet for specifications.

Constant current line drive. Different manufacturers market transducers using the CCLD principle under different names, including
DeltaTron
®
and IEPE.
