PCIe Data Acquisition card

Turns your PC into an Oscilloscope

TPCE Modul

Description

The Elsys TPCE data acquisition (DAQ) cards are high-precision and high-resolution digitizers with sophisticated features such as advanced trigger mode, continuous data acquisition mode, differential inputs, digital input lines (Markers) and ICP coupling for powering piezo sensors.

The various TPCE cards are compact short-form PCI Express (PCIe) card. A scalable data acquisition system may be started with one or several cards that can be extended in the future to build a solution with up to 64-channels in one housing. This is the advantage of a modular data acquisition system.

Cards with different sample rates and different resolution may be mixed to match the application needs. An engineer can either be efficient the very first day by taking advantage of the powerful Elsys Transient Recorder application software TransAS 3 or start the development of a custom software based on the C++/C# driver with sample programs for Windows and Linux. Especially for ATE and integrated system applications there is an IVI Scope Class driver available. In both cases, the client-server architecture of the software allows to remotely control the TPCE modules over Ethernet with access from one or several clients.
