EXPRESS-8 l An Eight-Channel Acoustic Emission Board & System

PCI-EXPRESS BUS BASED,AE BOARO

EXPRESS-8 represents an advanced update of our well-known DiSP and PCI-8 boards. The addition of the PCI-Express bus re sults in an increase in maximum sustained processing speed over its predecessors and ensures the maintaining of performance levels with potential stem expansion. That addsup to better stem performance and reliability.

KEY FEATURES

• High-performance PCI-Expre ss bus allows for greater data streaming speed
• Halfthe size ofpreviousmodels, allowing for greater channel density in chassis
• High channel densi tv (8 channels)
• Waveformsand Waveform Streaming included
• More than 500 selectable digitai filters for sharp cutoffs and lower noise
• Compatible with ali MISTRAS preamplifiers
• EXPRESS-8 chassis- Micro-II-Express(32 channels) and Benchtop (96 channels)
• Optional chassi s expansion interface
• lmproved digitai filers, larger hit buffer, larger waveform FIFO buffer
• Sensor input: PK sensor, low power phantom
power +SV, or RXXI and preamplifier, traditional phantom power (+28V) or

24v ICP Sensor

THE SYSTEM CHASSIS

The use of the PCI-Express bus with the EXPRESS-8 card can use one of two PCI-Express AE stem chassis. The board also works in a standard PC with PCie slots.
The Micro-11-Expre ss chassis is the same size as MISTRAS' ultra-portable Micro-11 SAMOS chassis. This chassis can hold up four EXPRESS-8's, which translates into 32 AE channels in a rugged, mobile case. The Benchtop stem's channel density extends to 96 (12 EXPRESS-8 boards). Customerscan even connect two or more chassis with optional stem nchronization interface.
The EXPRESS-s stem and its corresponding chassis ( Micro-11-Express and Benchtop) represent the pinnacle in MISTRAS' high-speed, high­ channel density multichannel AE stems, while also offering the best value. The EXPRESS-s is ideai for large-structure monitoring and field testing where portability, high-channel density, and fast performance are required.
