Marlboro, Mass., − March 18, 2008 − Data Translation announces the DT9837A, a high performance USB module for sound and vibration analysis. The DT9837A has four independent 24-bit IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric) sensor inputs that are synchronized with a tachometer input to provide data streams matched in time for field or laboratory use. A read-back channel from the analog output guarantees perfect correlation of all signals with the input stream, the output stream, and the tachometer. The different tachometer measure modes allow measurements of the rotation speed as well as precise tachometer pulse phase measurement with a resolution of 37ns or 0.002 degree resolution at a rotation speed of 10,000 rpm. Numerous vibration applications have contributed to the advanced features of the DT9837A. Its exacting measurement capability is unmatched by any other, while its USB palm-sized module format can be easily used in portable field applications, states Fred Molinari, President and CEO. This rugged small module is self-powered via the USB connection to a PC or laptop, no external power supply is needed. This makes it ideal for portable measurement applications. Additionally, two modules can be triggered simultaneously for perfectly synched measurements over both. The DT9837A Offers the Following Features: Software Support The DT9837A ships with a software applet to get you up and running right out-of-the- box. This applet supports basic operation of the module and can be easily modified for more advanced capabilities using Measure Foundry, Data Translations popular rapid application builder software. Measure Foundry offers a specially designed component that allows perfect synchronization of two modules. This reduces valuable development time as two DT9837A's in a Master/Slave configuration are presented in a single component as if they are one device with twice the channels. Pricing and Availability The DT9837A is priced at $1,795 US (OEM version also available) and is shipping in April. About Data Translation Data Translation Inc. is the world leader in high performance USB data acquisition, temperature measurement, and open, powerful test and measurement software. |
