DAS1 Magnetic Range Data Acquisition System
The DAS1 Magnetic Range Data Acquisition System combines analog conditioning electronics with A-D conversion and data processing in a versatile, integrated system. It is capable of monitoring arrays of up to 150 3-axis Bartington magnetometers, making it ideal for applications such as magnetic signature ranges.
Key features:
- Compatible with most Bartington 3-axis magnetometers
- Also supports depth, vibration and acoustic sensors
- 18-bit A-D conversion
- PC based processing unit
- LabVIEW® application supplied
- Rugged 19” rack enclosure
- Modular design simplifies addition of extra channels
The core of the system is a PXI bus populated with a single-board computer module and A-D converter cards. Programmable analog signal conditioning allows control of gain and filtering. Digital sampling rates vary with the number of channels used, but a fully populated system can sample at up to 15.6kHz.
The product is supplied running Windows XP and with some basic LabVIEW® applications to rapidly create a working system. Where a more complex software solution is needed, typically in a magnetic range facility, system engineers can choose either to continue to develop within LabVIEW® or to use an alternative software design environment.
