  The hardware of the signal acquisition system uses a CompactDAQ chassis to control the timing, synchronization and data transmission between the C series I/O module and the external host. These cases offer connectivity options such as USB, Ethernet, or WiFi, with multiple slots to provide sufficient I/O for a variety of applications. The CompactDAQ chassis features a bus-powered USB chassis designed for small portable sensor measurement systems. You can use these cases with C-Series I/O modules to create combinations of analog I/O, digital I/O, and counter/timer measurements. The CompactDAQ chassis can include multiple general-purpose counters/timers that you can access through the installed hardware Timing Digital C Series module for applications involving quadrature encoders, PWM, event counting, pulse train generation, and period or frequency measurements. The CompactDAQ chassis also provides multiple timing engines that run multiple hardware timing operations simultaneously at independent rates against analog inputs.

  The signal acquisition system hardware also includes the Model Model 9216 electronic pressure scanning valve, which integrates 16 silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors with the latest microprocessor technology for any pressure range in a compact, rugged package. Each field replaceable pressure sensor includes a temperature sensor and EEPROM to store calibration data as well as sensor identification information such as pressure range, factory calibration date, and last or next calibration date managed by the user. The microprocessor uses the data from the EEPROM to correct for sensor offset, range, linearity, and thermal errors. The microprocessor's digital temperature compensation algorithm can reduce the sensor thermal error compensated by traditional sensors by a factor of 10 or more. The microprocessor also controls the actuation of the overall manifold to calibrate the zero or range online upon request. This function actually eliminates the sensor offset drift error, so that the system accuracy error is less than ±0.05% FS (full scale). 9216 Up to three concurrent scan lists can be used to sample through time stamps at a continuous rate of up to 500 measurements per second per channel in an engineering unit. Pressure data within the engineering unit are output via an auto-negotiated 10 or 100Mbit Ethernet interface that supports both TCP and UDP protocols.
