Data Acquisition and Signal Conditioning

12:27 AM, Posted by vtiinstruments, No Comment

Reliable Measurements. First Time. Every Time.

Qualification and performance testing is rigorous and unforgiving. Retests are expensive in both time and money. More often, they’re not even feasible. Test data must be captured correctly the first time. Thus, the reliability of the data acquisition system, the accuracy of the measurements and integrity of the data must be faultless for each and every test. The risk is too high to compromise on the test instruments.

That’s why for decades, customers worldwide rely on VTI.

Our customers depend on us to deliver highly accurate data when they are faced with their most critical testing needs. VTI systems deliver the highest performance available in a scalable, open-architecture platform. With powerful software tools that aid the developer in setup and control of test configurations, errors are absolutely minimized. These high-performance systems, whether LXI or VXI, have been proven to consistently deliver accurate, repeatable data in applications worldwide.

DAC

VTI’s approach to providing integrated Data Acquisition and Signal Conditioning in a single solution gives not only higher performance but saves time and money

More than Ethernet Connectivity

LXI brings the power of the Internet to DAQ instrumentation along with a powerful range of capabilities to enhance acquisition of data in critical test scenarios.

  • Virtually unlimited, synchronized, distributed measurements (IEEE 1588 and LXI Class A Trigger Bus)
  • Scalable performance for high channel counts
  • High-speed data sampling and throughput even with multiple instruments via Ethernet switch or hub
  • Flexibility of open-architecture for easy addition of third party instruments
  • Our LXI-based solutions easily create distributed data acquisition systems in a programming-free environment, saving time and money. The LXI interface allows the acquisition system to be placed closer to the test article. This reduces transducer cabling and simplifies installation, calibration and maintenance tasks.


Any Transducer, Channel Mix or Location


VTI can address your measurement challenges regardless of the transducer, channel mix or location. Modular, high-density VXIbus solutions are ideal for high-channel count applications where single drop control room approaches are favored. Combining this platform with the EX2500A, provides the bandwidth and horsepower needed to address today’s expanding high data throughput requirements.

  • Integrated signal conditioning
  • Flexible scanning/auto sequencing
  • High-speed data transfers into controller
  • Onboard data reduction and hi/low limit checking
  • Powerful data acquisition and control
  • Comprehensive onboard signal conditioning
  • Wide choice of input/output signal types

VTI Instruments co-founded the LXI™ Consortium in 2004 in response to customer requests for a standard, simplified instrumentation platform ideally suited for small to medium channel density and distributed test and data acquisition applications. LXI embeds the convenience of LAN/Ethernet at its core and defines three layers of class specifications that extend the capabilities into the realm of high-performance instrumentation. VTI is committed to delivering products to the highest specification class (Class A) to provide our customer base with the benefits that come with the most comprehensive feature set that LXI offers.

Key Attributes that Set LXI Apart
  • Speed, simplicity, worldwide reach, low implementation cost, and backward compatibility of LAN.
  • Quick, easy configuration through the intuitive web interface built into compliant instruments.
  • Simplified programming and greater software reuse through IVI drivers.
  • A distributed backplane architecture through the implementation of a hardware trigger bus (highly deterministic performance without the overhead of a chassis)
  • The ability to create easily hybrid systems that include LXI, GPIB, and VXI through the use of bridge devices such as VTI’s EX2500A LXI-VXI slot 0 interface.
  • Enhanced system performance and event handling via LAN-based triggering modes.
  • Synchronization of local and remote instruments through the IEEE-1588 precision time protocol.
