Five new modules and accessories for the NI Switch, Load and Signal Conditioning (SLSC) architecture are designed for aerospace hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations for testing complex electronic control systems. The new SLSC products include: •8-Channel Thermocouple Simulator Module – Eight channels of galvanically-isolated thermocouple simulation •8-Channel VDT/Resolver Simulation Module – Eight channels of variable differential transformer […]
Rackmount data acquisition system does data analytics via cloud connection
The Third Generation Black Diamond Rackmount (BDR-3) measurement and monitoring system collects data from precisely synchronized analog channels and processes the data with advanced state-of-the-art Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. It connects to a real-time Key Value Store (KVS) and to AlgoCentral cloud to provide real-time data analytics, processing, and graphing. The BDR-3 acquires […]
High-rez digitizers, co-processors come in PXI format
NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced today a new PXI FlexRIO architecture that integrates mezzanine I/O modules with Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGAs. The first wave of products based on this new architecture includes two high-resolution PXI FlexRIO Digitizers, three dedicated PXI FlexRIO […]
Miniature data recorder rated for IP68
The new SLICE IP68 data acquisition system is designed to capture physical signals in challenging environments. Targeted at applications with size or mass constraints, SLICE IP68’s 60×60-mm footprint makes it easy to embed in most test articles. The rugged housing is impervious to shock, water, and dust, making SLICE a candidate for testing in inclement […]
Characterizing sinusoidal signals with equations
Mathematics is the language we use to understand and communicate our knowledge about electrical relationships. It is easy to get overwhelmed by some of the complexity involved. The best approach is to begin at the most fundamental level and take it from there. Consider the realm of sinusoidal signals. First, a definition: A sinusoidal signal […]
Tiny recorders let crash test dummies take one for the Gipper
The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s (UAB) Department of Mechanical Engineering is developing new testing methodologies using crash test dummies to improve helmet testing and ultimately reduce concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). In that regard, they are putting sensors and recorders inside crash test dummy heads to get biofidelic impact data. Miniature DTSSLICE NANO […]
Basics of working with I2C buses
Back in olden days, parallel buses were used to link electronic building blocks. Today serial buses have largely replaced them. There are numerous components for many applications that have standard serial interfaces, and this trend makes serial technology a good choice for design engineers. Because there are fewer signal lines, serial bus electronics take up […]
Multi-gigabit serial protocols demystified
Chris Nunn, National Instruments Corp. High-speed serial is a growing technology aimed at reducing device footprint and boosting data communication rates. We have seen a drastic change in digital communication buses shifting from parallel to serial formats starting in the early 2000s. The transition from parallel buses to high-speed serial buses has led to many […]
Wideband transceiver optimized for tests of 802.11ad devices
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced the volume launch of their solution for testing 802.11ad devices. The flexible and compact E7760A wideband transceiver is an integrated test solution that supports the IEEE 802.11ad wireless standard. The solution was introduced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year. “Our customers are looking for millimeter […]
Dummies from NASA instrumented
with data acquisition systems
Engineers at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., will conduct nine water-impact drop tests to evaluate the safety of the splash down when the Orion spacecraft returns from deep-space missions and touches down on Earth. Onboard will be two test dummies wired up to Diversified Technical Systems (DTS) data acquisition systems. The DAS data […]
