WS98™ Eddy Current Board - Quality Network - #1

Text version of the page

WS98-EN™ Eddy Current PCB Technical Information IZFP’s WS98-EN Eddy Current board is designed for PC-based eddy current testing. In combination with suitable software, the WS98-EN is a complete multi-frequency eddy current instrument. By using a modular design concept, the WS98-EN system permits multi-channel operations with a multitude of sensor and frequency channels. A broad analog bandwidth and subsequent numerical filters allow for contemporary signal processing algorithms and new testing concepts with high-speed multiplexing. Powerful data processing and real-time numerical filtering are provided by the onboard digital signal processor (SHARC). All hardware and firmware functions are software controlled. The software package, running under Windows9*, WindowsNT or Windows2000 consists of three individual software components: 1) PC Software for setup and control of the eddy current system, data acquisition, data display and data analysis; 2) Slave Software for buffering and transferring data between PC and DSP via Ethernet; 3) DSP Firmware providing digital data filtering (data reduction, high-pass, low-pass, regression analysis), fast multiplexing of sensors and/ or test frequencies, setup of hardware functions (e.g., frequency generation, gain, A/D conversion, etc.), communication with data interfaces and diagnostics for hardware and firmware functions.
