The Vision XP Portable Data Acquisition System from LDS-Nicolet combines elements of DAT/AIT recorders, oscillographs and oscilloscopes in a handy, portable data-acquisition unit.



Like an oscillograph, this model has real-time scrolling, triggered or XY displays. Like a tape recorder, it has continuous, gap-free data storage over very long recording times. The Vision XP can save 16 channels of 16-bit data continuously to a 72 GB hard drive at 100 kS/s per channel.

Other features include digital filtering, real-time measurements and full network access via the integrated Ethernet or Wireless LAN connection.

Here is brief Features list of the Vision XP:

* 8 or 16 channels of acquisition
* 100 kS/s, 16-bit A/D's on each channel
* 20 kHz analog bandwidth
* Wide range of signal conditioners for bridge, accel, thermocouple/RTD, and 480 Vrms inputs
* Rugged, lightweight enclosure weighs only 20 lbs and operates up to 20 g's
* 100 base-T Ethernet and Wireless LAN connection to external devices
* Synchronize up to 4 Visions (64 channels) using VisionNet Plus

Features (detail):

Up to 16 Analog Channels
Vision XP's universal amplifiers provide 500 V isolation, with adapters for thermocouple, shunt, accelerometer and strain gage inputs. Sixteen-bit digitizers on every channel assure the highest dynamic range with no crosstalk or aggregate rate limit. A sound channel records your comments and 8 digital inputs record status bits, frequency or RPM.

Ultra Long Memory
Vision XP streams data to an internal 72 GB hard disk. With eight channels at 100 kS/s each, record time up to 12 hours. Or record 16 channels at 100 S/s for over eight months! The full-disk pretrigger feature always retains the most recent time history so you can see what conditions led up to a failure, even hours before the event.

One-Touch Recording and Playback
Acquire data immediately with controls as simple as a cassette recorder. Use zoom, cursors and the jog/shuttle knob to view details and make measurements. At the touch of a button, SEARCH instantly locates events of interest without the delays of tape winding. Plot to any printer with a keystroke, including LDS-Nicolet's AR-200 stripchart writer.

Analysis Onboard or on Your PC
In addition to cursor measurements, Vision XP provides over a dozen common calculations such as RMS, max/min, average and duty cycle. Calculations can be made while recording or post-run. Vision XP also includes Wireless LAN and Ethernet interfaces for direct connection to your network or printers. LDS-Nicolet's optional PC software provides sophisticated data analysis, reporting and storage in popular file formats such as MatLab, DADiSP, nCode and SDF.

Vision Troubleshoots Space Shuttle Discovery!

NASA & Boeing used the LDS Nicolet Vision to trouble shoot the problems in the Space Shuttle Discovery, allowing the count down to proceed for America's re-entry into space. More info here: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts114/050720newdate/
