Offered as single-width CompactPCI/PXI module, CP246 incorporates 8 signal conditioning channels and 8 independent 16-bit ADCs as well as 16 multi-function DIO channels. Integration eliminates need for complex field wiring and reduces system noise while promoting accuracy of measured data. Along with plug-and-play drivers, setup and use are facilitated via singular API and SoftView solution for card identification, configuration, and operation.
KineticSystems Releases New CompactPCI/PXI ADC Module
Lockport (Illinois), USA (February 6, 2009) - KineticSystems today announced its new CompactPCI/PXI Bridge Signal Conditioning module with on-board Analog to Digital Converters. This single-width CompactPCI/PXI module incorporates 8 signal conditioning channels and 8 independent 16-bit ADCs as well as 16 multi-function digital I/O channels.
Since all of these functionalities are available in a single module instead of 2 or 3 separate modules, the CP246 eliminates the need for complex field wiring. As a result, system noise is reduced and overall accuracy of the data measured is increased. Since the number of modules required in the system is also reduced, the size and number of chassis required is also minimized.
"The CP246 is a perfect example of the innovative cPCI/PXI products KineticSystems is bringing to the market to simplify the user experience and directly reduce the total system cost," said Patrick Cassady, Executive Vice President of DynamicSignals. "Our goal is to provide users with powerful, flexible, and cost-effective data acquisition solutions such as that of the CP246 with combined Bridge Signal Conditioning and ADC functionality in a single module," Cassady added.
Installing the CP246 is quick and easy as well. Plug and Play drivers for configuring and using the device and application examples to illustrate its basic functionality are included.
Application programming is also simplified, since you only need to communicate with one API for all of the functionality of the module.
In addition, the CP246 includes a copy of SoftView, KineticSystems' powerful out-ofthe-box solution for card identification, configuration and operation. SoftView also integrates KineticSystems' entire line of cPCI/PXI instruments under a single software package to allow multiple instruments to be managed simultaneously.
Typical applications include rocket motor testing, structural testing, wind tunnel testing, fatigue testing, RTD temperature measurements, vibration and torque measurements, compression and tension measurements, weigh scales, automotive test cells, industrial monitoring and control, automated test equipment and general-purpose digital control or monitoring. The flexibility of the CP246 allows it to be used to measure data from different sensor inputs of various applications as the need arises. The bridge signal conditioning or the ADC functionalities can be used independent of one another, adding to the flexibility of the device.
The CP246 is available immediately starting at $400 USD per channel with delivery in 4-6 weeks.
