Signal conditioner

Your measurement is only as good as the signal path, so why compromise on signal conditioning? Genesis supplier of signal conditioners are daughter cards mounted integrally with the acquisition module in the same slot. This concept allows for future plans and expansions while maintaining the standardized feature set without compromise.

The basic professional amplifier signal conditioners give you 8 channels with single-ended or unbalanced differential, isolated inputs on one board. With 200 kS/s or 1 MS/s digitizing rate at 16-bit resolution, they are ideally suited for high definition transient recording.

The 200 kS/s and 1 MS/s bridge amplifier versions comprise everything that you would expect from LDS Nicolet. They offer isolated and differential inputs, high gain, and extremely good SNR even at the maximum 400 kHz bandwidth. Both versions come with on-board professional software, selectable shunt calibration and bridge completion resistors, a bridge wizard for error-free setup and fast auto balance.

The unique high-end universal amplifier serves a variety of needs, ranging from differential and/or isolated measurements to ICP®-based vibration or shunt-based current measurements. Apart from the differential mode, the amplifier supports any type of 'constant current' vibration and acceleration transducers. In "current mode", the built-in shunt can be used to measure up to 1 ampère in a safe, isolated and fused manner, without the need for external shunt resistors.

As a special input board, the binary marker input CT enables up to 64 "digital" channels to be recorded as well. This board can be used to record status signals from the process or test like high/low, open/closed or left/right. It also offers three counter/timer inputs to do frequency or RPM measurements as well as to record quadratur professional encoder signals.
A special variant of this board is the binary marker input HV. This is similar to the CT version, but offers fibre-optic isolated inputs and a fiber-optic SYNC line for use in HighPower/HighVoltage environments.

For ultra fast signals, the 25 MS/s and 100 MS/s fast digitizers are equipped with four channels sampling at an incredibly high speed. With selectable anti-aliasing filtering and 14- or 15-bit resolution, these inputs turn the Genesis into the fastest transient data collection ever seen. The fast digitizers are available in single-ended versions or with fully differential inputs.
