TraNET PPC - Portable Data Acquisition Instrument

Product catalog summary
Overview: The TraNET® PPC is a versatile, high-precision data acquisition instrument suitable for applications like ballistics, explosive tests, and acoustic emission. It supports continuous data streaming and Event Controlled Recording (ECR), and can operate as an oscilloscope in Scope and Multiblock modes. It can be synchronized with other Elsys TraNET® instruments for large-scale systems.
General Specifications: The device includes a 17'' LCD, Intel i5-8400 CPU or newer, 16 GB RAM, and Windows 11 64 Bit. It has a 250 GB SSD system drive and two 500 GB SSD data drives. The power supply ranges from 100 V to 250 V, and it operates between 0 to 45 °C with a maximum operating elevation of 2,000m.
Data Acquisition Modules: The TraNET® PPC uses Elsys TPCE or TPCE-LE measuring cards, supporting up to 24 single-ended or 12 differential channels. Sampling rates range from 2 to 240 MS/s per channel. The cards are available in single-ended or differential versions, with specific configurations for 4-channel and 8-channel cards.
TPCE vs TPCE-LE: TPCE cards offer a broader input range and higher data throughput due to a PCIe x4 interface, compared to the TPCE-LE's x1 interface. The TPCE variant also provides better Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) for differential measurements.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for TPCE and TPCE-LE modules include input channels, sample rates, amplitude resolution, memory, input amplifier ranges, and noise levels. Trigger options and features like digital inputs and ICP® sensor supply are also covered.
Specifications Overview: Key specifications for TPCE-LE modules include measurement ranges from ±100 mV to ±25 V, sample rates up to 20 MHz, amplitude resolution of 14 Bit up to 20 MHz, input impedance of 1 MΩ with 35 pF capacitance, and common mode rejection of > 60 dB (DC – 1 kHz).
Performance Characteristics: Slew rate varies with range, settling time is less than 200 ns to 1%, input noise ranges from < 0.080 mVrms at max sample rate to < 0.010 mVrms at 10 kHz, and SNR is up to 90 dB at 10 kHz sample rate.
Trigger and Control Features: Includes 4 or 8 trigger channels with advanced options, external trigger input, and adjustable trigger delay from -100% to +200% in 1% steps.
Software and Tools: The TranAX® 4 software supports data acquisition with features like multi-waveform displays, FFT analysis, Python integration, and measurement flow control macros.
Additional Accessories: Optional accessories include precision high-voltage attenuators, a digital input/output BNC box, and a SyncLink Box for synchronizing multiple TraNET devices.

TraNET PPC - Portable Data Acquisition Instrument-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.

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. 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 card is only 16 MS per channel as standard and 64 MS is available as an additional option, which would be twice as much for 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 a 8-channel card and 40 MS/s for 4-channel card. 4-Channel • 32 MS per Channel • 128 MS per Channel optional...
