 The Model 482A eight-channel card is the new revolutionized
signal conditioner that communicates with newly developed
SMART ISOTRONS, yet provides backwards compatibility for
use with other Integral Electronic Piezoelectric (IEPE)
transducers and Remote Charge Convertors. Up to 16 Model
482A cards can be used in the Model 4990 rack, providing
a powerful 128 channels of flexible, intelligent signal
conditioning.
The significant features of this revolutionized combination
of SMART ISOTRONS and intelligent Electronics provides
a solution that a modal test lab cannot afford to NOT
make use of. Data entry errors are virtually eliminated
and signal conditioning set-up time is minimized - SMART
ISOTRONS contain all pertinent data, which is automatically
loaded when connected to the signal conditioner! Each
Model 482A card has an independent microprocessor, providing
the fastest means of data transfer possible and increased
reliability.
The Model 4990 rack provides the communication link (Ethernet
is standard, RS-232 is optional) from a PC to the Model
482A boards. LabVIEW based application software provides
an extremely user friendly communication interface. The
sensor-specific digital read/write data is in the form
of the proposed IEEE-1451.4 TEDS (Transducer Electronic
Data Sheet). The TEDS data includes: Transducer sensitivity,
manufacturer, serial number, date of last calibration
and location.
Other signal conditioning cards are available, which can
be hot-swapped and mixed within the same rack.
Applications include: Multi-channel modal tests on large
structures such as airplanes, spacecraft, automobiles,
buildings, bridges and heavy machinery.
Features:
• Low-cost
• 8-channel SMART ISOTRON® power supply
• Designed for multichannel modal testing
• Automatic gain selection, transducer identification
and automatic logging
• 0.015 Hz to 100 KHz bandwidth (-3 dB corners)
• Control via Ethernet or optional RS-232
• Ultra low-noise
