Product catalog summary
Overview
The TraNET® PPC is a versatile, high-precision data acquisition instrument suitable for applications such as ballistics, explosive tests, and acoustic emission. It supports multiple data acquisition modes, including continuous streaming and Event Controlled Recording (ECR), and can operate as an oscilloscope in Scope and Multiblock modes. It is compatible with other Elsys TraNET® instruments for large-scale system synchronization.
General Specifications
The device features a 17’’ LCD, Intel i5-8400 CPU or newer, 16 GB RAM, and runs on Windows 11 64 Bit. It includes a 500 GB SSD system drive and two 500 GB SSD data drives. The power supply ranges from 100 V to 250 V, and it operates in temperatures from 0 to 45 °C, with a maximum operating elevation of 2,000m.
Data Acquisition Modules
Utilizing Elsys TPCE or TPCE-LE measuring cards, the device can expand up to 24 single-ended channels or 12 differential channels, supporting sampling rates from 2 to 240 MS/s per channel. The maximum streaming speed is determined by the measurement card and hard disk throughput.
Specifications
The TPCE and TPCE-LE cards are available in single-ended or differential versions. The TPCE version offers higher data throughput with a PCIe x4 interface, while the TPCE-LE has a reduced input range and a PCIe x1 interface. They support various sampling rates and resolutions, with options for 16 Bit resolution at lower sampling rates.
Performance and Features
The device includes advanced triggering options such as slew rate, pulse width, and state triggers, along with auto-calibration for gain and offset adjustments. The input amplifier offers measurement ranges from ±50 mV to ±50 V, with varying bandwidths and slew rates.
Additional Accessories
Optional accessories include digital marker inputs, an internal GPS receiver, and ICP® sensor supply for piezo sensors.
Memory Specifications
Standard configurations include 4 x 32 MWords (256 MByte) and 8 x 16 MWords (256 MByte) for 4-channel and 8-channel modules, respectively. Optional configurations offer increased capacity with 4 x 128 MWords (1 GByte) and 8 x 64 MWords (1 GByte).
Input Amplifier Specifications
Measurement ranges span from ±100 mV to ±25 V, with offset adjustments from 0 to 100% in 0.1% steps. Input impedance is 1 MΩ or 50 Ω, with AC/DC coupling options. Bandwidth varies with range, reaching up to 120 MHz for ranges ≥ 1 V.
Noise and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
Input noise levels decrease with lower sample rates, while SNR improves, reaching up to 90 dB at a 10 kHz sample rate.
Trigger and Control Features
Includes 4 trigger channels with advanced options like slew rate and pulse width detection. External trigger inputs and delay settings are available, along with digital inputs and status outputs for enhanced control.
Software - TranAX® 4
This software supports data acquisition and visualization with features like multi-waveform displays, FFT analysis, and Python integration. It offers tools for automated measurements and documentation generation.
Additional Accessories
Includes precision high-voltage attenuators for measurements up to 1000 V, digital I/O BNC boxes for signal access, and SyncLink boxes for device synchronization.

Datasheet TraNET PPC-1

Portable Data Acquisition Instrument The portable Data Acquisition device TraNET® PPC is a high-precision measurement instrument. It is a very compact, all in one data acquisition solution with a high channel density. The TraNET® PPC was specifically designed for flexible portable usage in applications such as ballistics, explosive tests, acoustic emission or for any power and voltage related measurement. cording mode (ECR), blocks of data can be captured independently per channel. Adjacent blocks may be overlapping to assure that no relevant information is missing. The Scope and Multiblock measurement mode turns the PPC in a standard Oscilloscope. TraNET® PPC devices can be synchronized with other Elsys TraNET® instruments in order to build large scale systems. There are a variety of data acquisition modes available to address specific requirements. The data streaming capability allows acquiring a continuous data stream to disk.

Datasheet TraNET PPC-2

Unused channels must be turned off! This limits are valid only for 4-Channel boards. Data Acquisition Cards The Elsys TPCE or TPCE-LE measuring cards are used as data acquisition cards in the TraNET® PPC. The cards are stably installed in the device and optimally cooled in order to achieve stable measurement accuracy and to guarantee a long service life for the measurement cards. The TraNET® PPC can be expanded up to 24 single-ended channels or 12 differential channels. All measuring cards from the TPCE/TPCE-LE range with sampling rates from 2 to 240 MS/s per channel can be used.

Datasheet TraNET PPC-3

All TPCE/TPCE-LE cards are available as single-ended (SE) or differential (DIFF) versions. Depending on how many inputs are measured differentially, an SE or DIFF card is worthwhile. Single-ended cards have one BNC connector per channel where the outside shielding is connected to chassis/protective ground. Two neighboring channel can be configured per software as differential input stage. In this case the signal must be connected as shown aside. Differential cards have two BNC connector per channel where the outside shielding is connected to chassis/protective ground. Single ended measurement...
