TraNET ® EPC Data Acquisition Instrument The Elsys Data Acquisition Instrument TraNET® EPC with its high channel density and robust housing is designed for high precision measurements in industrial environments. It is a scalable system that may grow to a total number of 64 SE channels in one device. Several devices can be synchronized with the Elsys SyncLink box. TraNET EPC is used to acquire simultaneously many traces to address various measurement tasks in applications such as test and verification of train systems, power conversion systems, automotive and power plant maintenance.

Even in burst mode applications TraNET® EPC is capable to capture thousands of blocks of data without any loss thanks to the unique Event Controlled Recording (ECR) mode. The powerful application software TranAX® not only helps to quickly configure many acquisition channels, but also provides the right post-processing tools to analyse complex waveforms.

Data Acquisition Cards The Elsys TPCE or TPCE-LE measuring cards are used as data acquisition cards in the TraNET® EPC. 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® EPC can be expanded up to 64 single-ended channels or 32 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. Single-Ended vs Differential Cards All TPCE/TPCE-LE cards are available as single-ended (SE) or differential...

4-Channel vs 8-Channel Cards 8-channel cards are less expensive, but certain resources are distributed over 8 channels that would otherwise be available for 4 channels. For example, the on-board memory for 8-channel cards is only 16 MS per channel as standard and 64 MS is available as an additional option, which would be twice as much for a 4-channel card. In addition, the maximum data throughput in continuous mode is 160 MS/s per card. This results in a maximum of 20 MS/s per channel for 8-channel cards and 40 MS/s for 4-channel cards. 4-Channel • 32 MS per Channel • 128 MS per Channel optional...
