| Main features | Main specifications |
The Wide Bandwidth Disk Data Recorder is able to record prolonged, continuous, multi-channel signals exceeding bandwidth frequencies of 100kHz.It is also able to write the recorded data onto the dedicated removable high capacity hard disk at a maximum sampling rate of 1MHz

It can be used as a stand-alone recorder or as an interface when equipped with a 1000Base-T(Gigabit Ethernet), allowing data to be directly recorded to a PC or transferred to a PC via a network. Furthermore, not only does it allow multi-platform synchronized recording, it enables multi-channel recording without a loss to the per unit sampling rate.(due for introduction end of 2003)
It is also equipped with an analog data replay function.(due for introduction end of 2003)
Main features
  • Continuous 16-bit high precision data recording at 1MHz sampling x 16 channel for 20minutes(approx).
  • Continuous data recording of 250kHz sampling 100kHz bandwidth x 32 channel on a hard disk for 2 consecutive hours.
  • A PC card or an MO can be used as recording media. And, the IEEE1394 or 100BASE-TX is an interface.
  • With multi-channel recording function, it offers multi unit synchronized recording.
  • It is equipped with a 16-bit A/D converter on each channel, and a sampling frequency can be chosen between 10kHz to 1MHz for simultaneous samplings on all channels.
  • Continuous recording can be saved on a built-in hard disk drive at a maximum transmission rate of 16 million words /sec.
  • As an input amplifier is also a PA amplifier, which can be directly connected to voltage output type accelerometer and a DC switch.
  • Using a 1000BASE-T data can be transferred at high speed via a LAN or can be saved onto a computer via a network
  • The analog signal while recording can be monitored.
  • Data can be monitored via LAN while recording to the hard disk and the sampling rate frequency set on the channel.
  • It can be equipped with an analog output amplifier.
    (By the end of 2003, the sampling frequency of the D/A converter will be equal to or less than 500kHz)
  • The AU-BNC32 32-channel extension BNC unit and the PL-S1001LX View waveform display and removal software are available as options.
