TraNET FE - Data Acquisition Instrument Datasheet-1

TraNET ® FE 204/404 Data Acquisition Instrument The family of modular TraNET® data acquisition instruments provides turnkey solutions to many complex measurement problems. TraNET data acquisition systems are flexible, compact and portable. They can be used to solve in situ problems in many different applications like blast, ballistics, automotive, power or transportation systems. With the Continuous Data Recorder mode, a long duration event can be stored to disk, gap free in real-time, and analysed later. If applications require complex triggering across many channels, TraNET® can help you capture sequential blocks of data, without any loss, using the unique ECR Event Controlled Recording 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. The TraNET® FE 204/404 can be equipped the poweful TPCE data acquisition card and is available as 4 to 16 channel device. Larger channel counts can be realized by either synchronizing several TraNET devices or with the TraNET® FE 408 DP device which available also as 32 channel instrument.

Device Synchronization The synchronization of several TraNET® FE devices has always been a strength of Elsys measuring devices. With the help of the synchronization unit SyncLink SLB-8 or SyncLink 2.0, several TraNET® FE devices can be precisely synchronized on a sample basis. Not only is the internal timebase of all devices synchronized, but trigger messages are also transmitted with sample accuracy. The latest generation MK3 of the TraNET® FE devices now also masters the network synchronization standard IEEE-1588 (PTP: Precision Time Protocol) and enables, on the one hand, much simpler synchronization...

Data Acquisition Cards The Elsys TPCE or TPCE-LE measuring cards are used as data acquisition cards in the TraNET® FE 204 and 404. 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. Single-Ended vs Differential Cards 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...
