Data Acquisition for Testing of Rotor-Configurations in Wind-tunnels
Tuesday 18th November 2008
10.30 - 11.00
Auditorium 1
Wind tunnel measurement applications require real-time data acquisition and monitoring across many channels, a challenge due to large amounts of data and processing. Bustec’s true 24-bit Sigma-delta digitizers provide sustained data rates in excess of 80MB/sec. The system includes 128 channels sampling at 100kHz, and allows the data to be monitored and then moved to a RAID system for storage and further processing. These 128 channels are directly connected to voltages or ICP sensors. Low-speed multiplexed ADCs and counters are also a part of the system.
