A-7
Introduction
Spider8
Special features of Spider8
D The device type contains 4 complete digital amplifiers in 4.8kHz
carrier-frequency technology for S/G or inductive transducers with
the channel numbers 0 to 3.
D The device type Spider8-30contains 4 complete digital amplifiers
in 600Hz carrier-frequency technology for S/G transducers with
the channel numbers 0 to 3.
D The device type Spider8-01 contains 4 complete digital amplifiers
for voltage and current inputs with the channel numbers 0 to 3
(basic device).
D Each channel works with a separate A/D converter which allows
measuring rates from 1/s to 9600/s. This means that Spider8
covers the entire range of mechanical measurement tasks.
D The A/D converters are synchronised to ensure simultaneous
measurement on all channels.
D Passive transducers are connected using 6-wire or 5-wire
connections. This stabilises sensitivity losses where there is a
long line between the transducer and Spider8.
