Specifications
Inputs
Analog channels Two standard, expandable to four channels. All are differential inputs with
1M Ohm impedance. Setup allows per channel selection of gain (x0.01, .0.1,
x1, x10), transducer sensitivity, sensor type (e.g., acceleration, force, pressure,
etc.), and coupling (AC, DC, ICP
TM
).
Electronics Differential amplifier, programmable gain amplifier, anti-aliasing filters, and
24-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
Filtering An analog filter at 300 kHz plus a 160 dB/octave linear-phase digital filter
prevent aliasing and phase distortion.
Frequency range Up to 84.2 kHz analysis frequency (192 k samples per second).
