High Speed Data Acquisition

We have developed the WE500/WE900 measuring stations for the WE7000 series of PC-based measurement instruments. The WE500/WE900 have inherited the conventional plug-and-play architecture and high-speed data transmission function, and achieved even more advanced functionality and higher performance while maintaining compatibility with the conventional measurement modules. Along with the “embedded module” function that performs internal measurement data processing and autonomous operations, the WE500/WE900 come preinstalled with communication functions based on USB and Ethernet interfaces capable of transmitting data at a maximum rate of 480 Mbps. 

We have developed the new SL1000 high-speed data acquisition unit which features a maximum sampling rate of 100 MS/s with 16 channels, and yet still offers 1-kV insulation. This PC-based instrument can also update waveforms at a high rate on the PC monitor like a single instrument, even for large quantities of data, due to the newly developed GIGAZoom Engine for data compression. This paper describes the functions and technologies of the high-speed data acquisition in the SL1000.
