Application notes

The unit can acquire data from on-board interfaces at rates of up to 400 kilosamples per second, and from remote units via communications links. A high-performance on-board PowerPC microprocessor offering over 1000MIPS processing power hosts customer applications for real-time data analysis. Application code may be autocoded using our Graphical Development Environment (GDE) from Matlab/Simulink control modules. Data is logged to 2GB on-board Flash memory and downloaded for analysis via a Gigabit Ethernet network connection.

For example system configurations please refer to our Units and Datalogging application notes.
