Hi-Techniques Echelon Series Rental

Lab Quality Data Acquisition with Unparalleled Connectivity

Echelon data acquisition system assembledThe Modal Shop’s newest pyroshock and ballistics-capable data acquisition offering, the Echelon series is a modular system based on a single Processor module supporting up to 64 channels at 100 kS/s per channel or up to 16 channels at up to 1 MS/s per channel.

Key Benefits

  • Integrated Universal signal conditioning supports mixing and matching virtually any sensor type
    • Accelerometers (DC, Differential, ICP/IEPE with breakout), Microphones
    • Strain gages
    • Thermocouples (B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, T with appropriate breakout)
    • Load cells
    • Pressure transducers
  • HS High Speed cards (4-channel, can combine to 16 channels per module) provide 1 MSa/s/ch for SRS (shock response spectrum) per MIL-STD-810 recommendation to accurately obtain accurate peaks for shock and pyroshock testing. Takes advantage of SAR ADC architecture for low latency, high accuracy signal processing with low power consumption, and eliminates overshoot up to 20% (Gibbs Phenomena) compared with Sigma-Delta ADC architecture.
  • HD High Density cards (16-channel, can combine to 64 channels per module) provide 100 kSa/s/ch, variable input ranges. 24 bit SAR ADC. Extremely flexible solution capable of extreme environmental conditions while delivering best-in-class performance.
  • Included software available for PC or tablet provides real-time control, display, and analysis
  • Remote control, power, and system synchronization with a single Ethernet interconnect cable increases flexibility and reduces setup complexity and weight

Key Features

  • IP 67 Environmental rating protects against dust and water
  • Shock protection up to 100 g on 3 axes
  • -40° to +85° C operating temperature
  • Optional GPS/IRIG on the Processor Module allows all data to be time synchronized even between widely separated systems. GPS position is also provided with 20 Hz fast update rate.

Integrated Universal signal conditioning offers software selectable conditioning for virtually any sensor type including strain gages, accelerometers, thermocouples, load cells, and pressure transducers on a per channel basis for maximum configuration flexibility. Need to mix and match sensor types in any configuration? No problem with the Echelon.
