  6. Support triggering by leading edge or trailing edge at specified triggering level and on selected input channel

  7. Support pre-triggering and post triggering from 0 to 100% of the selected sampling length

  8. Continuous monitoring on the input signal such that no trigger event will be missed before the data collection.

  9. Can be used as a transient signal recorder to capture and store data for up to 500s.

  10. Four view types: Real time wave form display of Channel A and Channel B, Real time wave form display of Channel A + Channel B, Real time wave form display of Channel A - Channel B, Real time Lissajous Pattern display for Channel A and Channel B

  13. Collected measurement data can be saved as WAV file or exported as TXT file.

  14. Support calibration of the input channels

  15. Support adding notes to the measurement data

  16. Features fast display refresh rate, thus data are displayed and analyzed in "true" real time.

  17. The colours of the display are configurable.

  18. Number of points to be collected per scan can be fine tuned.

  19. Displays the Maximum, Minimum, Mean, RMS value of the data per scan. Therefore it can be used as a voltimeter.

  20. Support two point readers (cursor readers) on each view

  1. Frequency Range: up to 48 KHz (depending on Sound Device)

  2. Bandwidth: 20 Hz - 48 kHz (depending on Sound Device)

  3. Maximum Allowable Input Voltage (if connected directly):  about 2 VAC (depending on Sound Device)

  4. Selectable sampling frequency (up to 96 kHz), sampling bit resolution (8 or 16 bits) and sampling channels (one or two) (all depending on Sound Device)

  5. Three triggering modes: no trigger, repeated trigger and single trigger

  8. Continuous monitoring on the input signal such that no trigger event will be missed before the data collection.

  9. Can be used as a transient signal recorder to capture and store data for up to 500 s.

  10. Four view types: Real time amplitude spectrum display (relative display mode and absolute display mode (RMS mode)), Real time phase spectrum display, Real time auto correlation display, Real time cross correlation display.

  11. Independent X axis and Y axis zooming and scrolling

  12. Support independent linear or logarithmic scale for x axis and y axis.

  13. WAV file can be imported for display and analysis

  14. Collected measurement data can be saved as WAV file or exported as TXT file.

  15. Support calibration of the input channels

  16. Support adding notes to the measurement data

  17. Features fast display refresh rate, thus data are displayed and analyzed in "true" real time.

  18. The colors of the display are configurable.

  19. Number of points to be collected per scan can be fine tuned.

  20. FFT size can be adjusted from 128 to 32768 points

  21. Allows sampling length to be different from FFT size. If the FFT size is greater than the sampling length, then zero will be added at the end of the actual measurement data during FFT computation. If the FFT size is less than the sampling length, then the measurement data will be split into different segments with the size of each segment equal to the FFT size. The final result will be obtained by averaging the FFT results from all segments.

  22. Support windowing functions: Rectangle, Triangle, Hanning, Hamming and Blackman.

  23. Displays the frequency and cross correlation peak location.

  24. Support two point readers (cursor readers) on each view.

  25. Options are provided to remove the DC component during spectrum analysis.

Specification

  1. Bandwidth: 20 Hz - 48 kHz (depending on Sound Device)

  2. Output level: about 1 VAC (depending on Sound Device)

  3. Selectable sampling frequency (up to 96 kHz), sampling bit resolution (8 or 16 bits) and sampling channels (one or two) (all depending on Sound Device)

  4. Support predefined waveforms: Sine, Square, Triangle and Saw Tooth. They can be generated at a specified fixed frequency ranging from 1 Hz to up to 48 kHz.

  5. Support pink noise and white noise generation.

  6. Support multi-tones generation. Multi-tones is a combination of the predefined waveforms with different amplitude and frequency. Pink noise and white noise with specified amplitude can also be added into multi-tones. Maximum 32 tones can be combined in each channel.

  7. Support arbitrary waveform generation through user-defined waveform library. The waveform library is a TXT file containing the coordinates of each point of a waveform. There is no limit as to how many points can be used to define a waveform.

  8. The predefined waveform, multi-tones and user-defined waveform can be generated at a frequency that sweeps linearly or logarithmically within specified frequency range and time duration.

  9. Allows to specify the phase difference between the two channels if the output signals have the same frequency.

  10. The output signal amplitude is adjustable.

  11. The generated signal can be saved as WAV file or TXT file for a specified duration ranging from 1 s to 1000 s.

  12. Support calibration of the output channels.

  13. The output signal can be displayed in the Oscilloscope and Spectrum Analyzer at real time via software loop back.

Probe Specification

  1. Maximum Allowable Input Voltage: ±24 V

  2. Built-in input protection circuit ensures its output to be less than 3V at all time, provided the input voltage is within the allowable range

  3. Three switchable attenuation positions: 1, 2, 3, with input impedance equal to 1kΩ+sound card input impedance, 201kΩ+sound card input impedance, 10.001MΩ+sound card input impedance, respectively.  Note that the sound card input impedance, either MIC IN or Line In, is card dependent and ranges from 600 Ω to 50 kΩ.

  4. Frequency range: 0~200 kHz

  5. Soft molded strain reliefs at all stress points assure long cable life.

  6. Accessories include sprung hook, 6" ground lead.

  7. Its back end is a RCA plug (male) and can be connected to an ordinary sound card through a stereo-to-2RCA converter or a mono-to-1RCA converter. No converter is required for those sound cards that have RCA jacks for input and output.

  8. Can be used in Signal Generator for signal output. The output impedance is about 1 kΩ, 201 kΩ and 10.001 MΩ for attenuation switch Positions 1, 2, 3, respectively.
