Networking and Remote Communication on a Workstation-based Shaker Control System

From Spectral Dynamics, Inc.

This paper discusses industry standard networking and remote operation capabilities for a
Shaker Control system. The Unix-based system utilizes Ethernet local area networking with
support for TCP/IP NFS, PCNFS, and other industry standard protocols.
The flexible architecture and the X11 based user interface attributes allow for secure
operation of the vibration control peripheral from nearly any type of workstation, X-termial,
or personal computer on the same network. Also discussed, are capabilities for remote
control and status communication with climatic chamber controllers and with other
computer-based equipment in an automated test facility.

Data Acquisition Systems and Instruments
Data acquisition systems and instruments collect, digitize, and process multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes.
Data Loggers and Data Recorders
Data loggers and data recorders acquire digital data from sensors and other signals. They are primarily used to store data for subsequent downloads to a host PC, but may also include real-time features such as monitors and alarms.
I/O Modules and Instruments
Data acquisition I/O devices have both input and output functionality. Digital or discrete I/O modules include on-off signals used in communication, user interface, or control.
Data Acquisition
Data acquisition is the digitizing and processing of multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes. Signal conditioning includes the amplification, filtering, converting, and other processes required to make sensor output suitable for rereading by computer boards.
