(DAS) consists of two separate, identical, data recorders. Each data
recorder shall be capable of a minimum of 32 analog inputs, a minimum
of 32 digital TTL inputs, a minimum of 4 counter/timer inputs, and
analog inputs shall have BNC connectors. Digital and counter/timer
inputs shall have multi-pin "D" type connectors. Each of the 32 analog
input channels shall include a programmable-gain with dc coupled input
amplifier to be provided for each channel with gain settings of at
least +/- 1, 2, 5, and 10 VDC full scale. An Amplifier input impedance
shall be nominally 1 Mohm with no more than 39 pf. A low pass input
filter shall be provided with a fixed frequency equal to 1/4 of the
digitizer sample rate (25 KHz for a 100 Ksps digitizer). This filter
shall be at least a 6 pole Bessel filter. Amplifiers shall have a safe
overload rating of at least 130 Vrms. RMS noise shall be no more than
0.0075% of full scale. A digitizer shall be provided for each channel
that shall operate at programmable sample rates from 0.1 sample per
second to 100 kilosamples per second. Groups of 8 channels shall be
programmable to the same or different sample rates. Digitizer
resolution shall be a minimumof 16 bits. Maximum static error shall be
+/- 0.05% of full scale for input ranges above +/- 1 V, and +/- 0.08%
of full scale for lower input ranges. A Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
shall be provided for each channel that shall provide the following
real-time capabilities: Waveform math operations shall be possible
including at least inversion and absolute value, and the ability to
add, subtract, or multiply any two channels. Waveform parameter
measurements shall be possible including at least max, min,
peak-to-peak, RMS, mean, period, and duty cycle measurements on raw
data or waveform math data. DSP calculations shall be capable of being
displayed as a trace, displayed numerically, used as a trigger source,
and/or stored to memory. Antialiasing digital filtering shall be
possible. This shall be no worse than 0.01 dB passband ripple and
transition within an octave to 72 dB rejection. Cutoff frequencies
shall be programmable from 1/4 to 1/40 of the sample rate. Data
recorders shall allow scaling of each analog channel to allow
user-defined waveform names, channel units, scale factor and offset.
Each of the 32 digital input channels shall be fixed threshold TTL,
slope shall be selectable from either +/- level, or +/- edge, and
inputs shall have a safe overload rating of at least 130 Vrms. The
following specifications shall apply to each of the 4 counter/timer
input channels: Each of the 4 counter/timer input channels shall be
fixed threshold TTL, functions shall include count up, count down,
frequency, rpm, and encoder position. The counter/timer value shall act
as an additional signal channel that shall be usable as a displayed
trace or numerical value, further processed with DSP calculations, used
as a trigger source, and/or stored to disk. Sampling and recording of
data shall be possible using an internal timebase or an external clock
signal of up to 50 Khz. The data recorder shall be capable of
recording at a selectable slow sample rate, then accelerating to a
selectable high rate upon a trigger event. Each trigger event shall
include a selectable amount of high speed pre-trigger samples and high
speed post-trigger samples. Repeated cycles of this low-high-low
sampling shall be possible. Triggering shall be possible from analog or
digital input data, or DSP computed real-time parameters. Triggering
for each channel shall be independently selectable. Trigger slope shall
be selectable from positive, negative, or dual. Trigger threshold and
hysteresis shall be continuously variable over the input range. Trigger
logic shall include and/or combinations of analog, digital and
counter/timer inputs. A front panel manual trigger shall be provided.
Trigger actions shall include start recording, accelerate recording, or
send a triggered segment to an analysis window. Pre-trigger for
accelerated recording shall be selectable from 1 to 20,000 points.
Post-trigger for accelerated recording shall be selectable from 1000
points to the remaining storage, or it may be terminated when the
trigger event goes false. Each trigger event time shall be recorded.
Data memory shall consist of standard PC compatible hard disk drives or
solid state memory. Data memory shall be sufficient to store all 32
analog channels for 30 minutes with all channels sampled at 100 Khz.
Data shall be written to data memory as one or more standard PC data
files. Memory architecture and throughput shall allow for uninterrupted
maximum rate, 32 channel recording, simultaneous with the following
operations: While recalling previously recorded data from the current
recording session for display and analysis, while operating any number
or type of normal Microsoft Office applications. The data recorders
shall be capable of providing an isolated alarm output based on
individual thresholds for each channel, or on computed values of the
DSPs. The data recorders shall be capable of automatic setup of span
and offset for each analog channel based on the peak-to-peak input
signals over a period of time. The data recorders shall be capable of
playing back, performing measurements upon, and exporting data from one
recording, while simultaneously making another recording. Each data
recorder shall be controlled by a built-in Intel Pentium computer which
has the capability to upgrade the internal processor with a faster
processor and capable of upgrading the random access memory (RAM). The
control computer shall contain the following as a minimum: A processor
operating at 133 MHz, 16 Mb RAM, 1 Gb hard disk, 3.5 inch, 1.44 Mbyte
