EX1200 series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The EX1200 series is a versatile and scalable high-density switching and data acquisition system designed for mechanical and electronic test environments. It includes a variety of mainframes, plug-in cards, and connectivity options for flexible configurations.
Specifications: The system features a 5-lane analog bus for signals up to 300 V and 3 A, with an optional 6.5 digit DMM for parameter measurement. It supports Ethernet-based control via an LXI interface for precise synchronization with other instruments.
Key Features: The EX1200 series offers a modular architecture with low cost-per-channel, optional EXLab software for data acquisition, and support for all thermocouple types, RTDs, and thermistors. It provides synchronized measurements using IEEE 1588 and web-based remote monitoring and control.
Applications: Suitable for high-performance switching, power supply switching, temperature monitoring, automotive ECM testing, high voltage monitoring, data logging, cable/harness testing, battery testing, and RTD/sensor simulation.
Data Acquisition: With the optional DMM, the system can acquire data from various sensors at rates up to 1000 samples per second. It supports plug-in switch/multiplexer modules to expand channel capacity and offers precision analog and digital outputs for controlling external devices.
Software: EXLab software provides an intuitive GUI for quick test setup and configuration, supporting graphical displays, time-stamped data recording, and easy instrument discovery. It includes features for configuring alarms, triggers, and self-calibration routines.
ATE Solutions: The EX1200 series offers high-density switching and I/O capabilities, integrating low-level, power, and RF switch modules in a single mainframe, emphasizing signal integrity and minimizing noise and crosstalk.
General Features: Modular 6.5 digit DMMs are integrated for synchronized scanning measurements, with features like true RMS AC readings, frequency and temperature measurements, and adjustable ADC integration time. Maximum non-destructive inputs are 450 V, with external probe capability up to 1.5 kV.
DMM Specifications: Measurement functions include DC/AC voltage and current, resistance, temperature, and frequency. System speed and range change capabilities are detailed, with maximum reading and trigger rates of 2,000/s.
Multiplexers and Switch Modules: High power switch modules support up to 16 A current and 1,000 V RMS voltage. High voltage multiplexers can switch signals up to 1,000 V with continuous relay self-monitoring. Multiplexers offer configurations for high-density and high-speed scanning.
Additional Features: Multifunction counters and DAQ modules provide frequency measurement, RPM measurement, and data acquisition capabilities. High-density multiplexers offer low cost per channel and capacitive discharge relays to prevent high voltage effects.
Service and Support: VTI Instruments offers global sales, service, and support, focusing on preserving customer investments through a dedicated engineering program. Custom integration services are available, with expertise in industry standards like LXI, VXI, IVI, PXI, and VME for system-level integration.
