Data acquisition system Peekel Instruments

An important property of AUTOLOG 3000 is its measuring speed (scanning rate) of 1 kHz for each individual channel. In this way, 6000 values per second can be dealt with at one measuring card. These are all being buffered individually and hence being transmitted through the CAN-Bus or the USB interface to the central (external) PC.

- Through CAN-Bus: The measuring cards communicate among each other and with the PC by means of the CAN-Bus protocol. Connection of the CAN-Bus with the PC can be made through an external CAN/USB converter. From the PC, all necessary hardware-adjustments can be performed. The PC logs, visualizes and stores all set and measured information over any period of time. Depending on the bus length and the bus speed, a CAN-Bus can handle 32 measuring cards with each 6 channels = 192 channels. When configuring larger systems, one or more bus lines can be operated in parallel. Synchronization between the cards guarantees the measuring of all channels without any time loss.
- Through USB interface: If the decentralized features of the CAN-Bus is not required but a high speed data-transfer is necessary, it is possible to mount an optional USB interface in the AUTOLOG 3000. This interface communicates with the input cards and transfers the measured data directly to the connected PC.
- Through Ethernet: Installing the optional PB3000 card will extend the communication interface with ethernet. This interface creatly extend the possiblities. With an extra Router one could create a WLAN measurement network.
