Imatek C3008 Data Acquisition for Materials Test - 55077 C3008 Data Acquisition

Imatek data acquisition systems are based around the C3008 controller and a PC running the ImpAcqt software. This is a general-purpose system for analysing the results of high-speed tests, such as impact testing and high-speed servo-hydraulic testing. The C3008 has the following specifications: Analogue channels 4 as standard, 16 optional. All channels sampled simultaneously at the maximum sample rate Digital channel Quadrature encoded input in addition to analogue channels Resolution 16-bit (1 in 65536), no missing codes Sample rate 3,000,000 samples per second (maximum) Sample depth Up to 50,000 samples per channel Gain Input range ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, ±1.25V software selectable Input mode Differential, bi-polar or uni-polar, selected per channel. Bandwidth 1.5MHz Signal to noise <2 bit system noise Gain error ±0.1% maximum Trigger By velocity-measurement laser, external TTL trigger in, analogue channels (trigger level configurable). Rising/falling edge. 0% to 100% pre-triggering. Trigger output. Timing Velocity measurement by time-of-flight, 20ns resolution Digital input 26 channel opto-isolated input Digital output 18 channel NPN output, short-circuit and over-current protected. High speed camera Camera trigger output and lighting controller output to interface to high-speed video systems. See separate data sheet for details.

T1000 Laser Trigger

High precision laser/detector trigger interfaces directly to the C3008 data acquisition hardware. The T1000 can provide a trigger to the data acquisition when the optical path between the laser and the detector is obscured, and with a suitable target can provide highly accurate, low noise velocity measurement.
