Connecting with Applications

Specifications

The LX Series provides a diverse set of connections to popular data analysis applications, which enables efficiency in all steps of the process: from experiment setup to data recording and processing.

Connecting to Sensors

Using the constant current excitation type accelerometer input amp card, you can directly connect to ICP® accelerometers and ICP® microphones. You can also read values such as sensitivity and calibration values for connected transducers. For experiment setup, these features reduce the need for additional equipment and can automate coefficient settings, thereby eliminating setup errors, and greatly reducing the effort required for experiment setup and data processing.

Connecting to Network

Using the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface, you can build distributed multi-channel data record- ing systems. Synchronizing pulses generated by, for example, a GPS signal can synchronize the internal clocks by using +/-30 seconds' adjustment function of the LX and you can control the recording of multiple devices connected to the network. The data collected by each LX main unit can be collected over the network, which reduces the effort required to physically collect media from different locations.

Recording and playback performance that exceeds DAT Data Recorders

The new LX Series data re- cording system from TEAC has been designed for fast set-up, reliable recording, and versatile playback in your data recording applications in the laboratory and in the field. Following-on from the conve- nience of DAT recorders, the LX Series en-ables recording in wider bandwidths. The ser- ies has strengthened connec- tivity with sensors, PCs and analysis applications; achieves fast data processing; and is designed to lower data re- cording costs.

Sampling Frequency	Depends on the main unit setting.

and an analog filter (2nd Order Butterworth)

Some existing data recorders have the ability to perform analog playback and change the playback speed (matching the analysis system bandwidth and playing back fast phenomena at a slower speed, or playing back slow phenomena at a faster speed, within the same sampling rate series) The LX Series can replace a traditional data recor- der even in an analysis system that requires exist- ing analog data to be played back. At a PC with the optional LX View program, you can extract only a necessary portion from an originally recor- ded file to create a new data file. Then you can copy the new data file to another media to per- form analog playback in the LX main unit. This enables data to be investigated more efficiently.

The format for recorded data is TAFFmat, the file format now used by TEAC digital Data Recorders. Data files in the TAFFmat format can be read by the LX View and by other companies' analytical software that supports TAFFmat. Also, in a config- uration in which a PC is connected and a LX Ser- ies recorder is used as the front-end, the TAFFmat format files can be used with software providing real-time recording and analysis functions. We also pro-vide the file converter software from TAFFmat to the popular analyzing data file formats, such as ASCII, UFF, ATI, and so on. TEAC provides system integrators with a Windows DLL for direct control of LX Series recorders. Contact TEAC for details.
