Software release simplifies multichannel data acquisition systems
AcqirisMAQS proven software, designed specifically for large multichannel acquisition, enables configuration management as well as visualization of data for hundreds of channels from a single console. The client-server architecture supports remote operation, making it possible for the data acquisition system to be distributed over a LAN. The high-density, compact solution is currently being used for advanced physics experiments, such as hydrodynamics, plasma fusion, particle physics and microwave astronomy.
The fully configurable graphical user interface allows engineers and scientists to easily select instruments and measurement channels for the configuration of the acquisition parameters. Acquired data is presented in multiple, powerful display windows for immediate viewing. Each data display window is fully configurable, including the selection of the number of plot areas and axes. Additional display functions provide multi-record overlay, persistence, frequency spectrum (FFT with choice of windowing and selectable section of the signal) and scalar computations on each trace. A special option for triggered single shot experiments adds an advanced configuration manager, digitizer memory protection locking and fail-safe operation.
Keysight’s multichannel digitizers contain all the timing and synchronization technologies needed to create synchronous sampling across 10s or 100s of channels at a time. For example, a reliable triggering and synchronization is essential to correctly recreate the event or process from captured data.
