VXI Analyzer

The High-Channel Count Analyzer

The SO Analyzer VXI is m+p international’s dynamic signal analyzer for advanced needs in noise and vibration analysis when high-channel counts are required. No matter how many channels are connected, the SO Analyzer provides highly accurate cross channel measurements, gap-free throughput to disk recording and reliable online and offline analyses. The high-precision data acquisition hardware includes a mainframe, multiple 24-bit 16-channel VXI digitizers plus DSP and a FireWire or Gigabit network link from the PC to the VXI chassis.

The flexible SO Analyzer architecture supports 4/6/13-slot mainframes housing three, five or twelve digitizers for up to 
48, 80 or 192 input channels, respectively. Additional chassis can be daisy-chained for even higher channel configurations.

Being an open standard the VXI architecture is the ideal solution to ensure long-term support and system longevity. Existing VXI DSA systems that require a software performance upgrade as well as additional hardware for system expansion can easily be integrated into the SO Analyzer.

A range of VXI modules are supported for measurement requirements up to 625kS/s per channel. With the gigabit Ethernet interface you are free to install the front-end chassis remotely near your signal sources with the convenience of the PC remaining in your control room or office hence reducing cable costs, reducing measurement noise and maintaining real-time performance.
