Non-Multiplexed High Speed Transient Function Card Overview

Identified by its ADC per channel and on-board memory, it typically operates at per channel sampling rates which in aggregate would overwhelm any communication system. Data is stored on board during a test and transmitted to a host computer following completion.

Characteristics of a transient recorder include:

Very High Channel Sampling Rates
In a transient recorder these rates are only dependent upon the ADC.

No Crosstalk
Each channel is independent with no multiplexing or shared circuits except for power supplies.

Negligible Skew
All channels are sampled simultaneously and controlled by a precision clock.

Independent Of Computer Latency
Onboard clocks control sampling rate, triggers initiate recording and data is stored onboard eliminating errors caused by failure of the computer to respond in a timely manner.
