Product Description: The Elsys TPCX data acquisition (DAQ) cards are high-precision and high-resolution digitizers with sophisticated features such as advanced trigger mode, continuous data acquisition mode, differential inputs, digital input lines (Markers) and ICP coupling for powering piezo sensors.
The various TPCX cards are compact short-form PCI boards. A scalable data acquisition system may be started with one or several card that can be extended in the future to build a solution with up to 64-channels in one housing. This is the advantage of a modular data acquisition system.
TPCX cards are equipped with four analog-digital converters in the case of 4-channel cards and eight converters for 8-channel cards. This allows to use the full converter speed with all channel active. Cards with different sample rates and different resolution may be mixed to match the application needs.
An engineer can either be efficient the very first day by taking advantage of the powerful Elsys Transient Recorder application software TranAX 3 or start the development of a custom software based on the C++/C# driver with sample programs for Windows and Linux. Especially for ATE and integrated system applications there is an IVI Scope Class driver and a LabVIEW instrument driver available. In all cases, the client-server architecture of the software allows to remotely control the TPCE modules over Ethernet with access from one or several clients.
