Function |
Hardware
to achieve function using VIPS software |
Oscilloscope |
VIPod10,
VIPod10/20, VIPod101 or VInterface module. |
Panel Meter |
VIPod10,
VIPod10/20, VIPod101 or VInterface module. |
Data Logger |
VIPod10,
VIPod10/20, VIPod30, VIPod50, VIPod101 or VInterface module. VILS
software gives enhanced control of logging features. |
Alarm Annunciator |
VIPod30
or VIPod50 to detect external alarms. VIPod40
or VIPod50 to drive external devices from alarms generated
from VIPod10 or VIPod101 analog input pods |
Event Recorder |
VIPod30
(opto-isolated) or VIPod50 (5V logic) to detect external
conditions. With VILS software, logging can be
initiated by pattern changes. |
Logic Analyser |
As
Event Recorder. |
Precision
Voltage |
VIPod10
measures to 1mV. VIPod101 measures to 24bit resolution
with input range dependent on reference voltage - 4.096
volts supplied. |
Temperature
Indicator |
VIPod101
with VIThrm connector. The connector supplies
a CJC temperature detector, 6 miniature universal thermocouple
sockets and a voltage input that can be used as an external
CJC. |
Stress Monitor |
VIPod101
can be configured to measure up
to 8 strain gauge bridges. |
Signal Generator |
VIPod20
(4independent channels) or VIPod10/20 (1channel). Control
of type of signal, frequency and amplitude. Arbitrary
signals can be generated from data files. One
signal can be used to modulate another using four quadrant
multiplying feature |
Arbitrary Waveform Generator |
As Signal Generator. Each
channel has an associated data file to define
the signal. The signal can be defined on
a point-by-point basis or in a piecewise
linear manner.
|
PrecisionTtest Levels |
VIPod20
or VIPod10/20. DC Level control can adjust output
to 0.5mV over 2V range or to 1mV over ±2V or 4V
ranges. |
Pulse Generator |
VIPod40
or 50. Any logic pattern involving the 8 logic levels
can be generated using the external data file facility. |
Logic Output
Drive |
VIPod40.
Can be used to switch on lights or drive relays
using the 8 channel power drivers. Each channel is capable of sinking
250mA from a 50V source. Flyback protected. |
