PCI-8 is an eight channel 16-bit 1MSPS (per channel) parallel processing AE system with on-board power (AE or ICP), filtering, feature extraction, waveforms and data-streaming. In addition it has two DC 16-bit inputs, one a full instrumentation input, the other a 16-bit A-D. A high level of on-board digital signal processing makes this a powerful board which interconnects to more boards to make a parallel processing multi-channel front-end. Up to 64 channels may be installed in a single 19" chassis, and 24 channels will go into a notebook expansion chassis.
Each board has:

• Eight independent 16-bit 1MSPS AE channels with 200KHz bandwidth each.
• Continuous 2 MB/second acquisition rate per AE channel.
• FPGA signal processing and digital feature extraction.
• Continuous features: rms, ASL, absolute energy.
• Transient features: time, amplitude, rise-time, count, energy, absolute energy, duration, counts to peak.
• Auto Sensor Test.
• Pre-amplifier power.
• Four high pass, and four low pass, software controlled filters.
• Industry standard PCI full-size board for high data transfer rates.
• Waveform acquisition is standard.
• Data streaming version optional.
• One 16-bit instrumentation input, 1-1000x gain, plus one 16-bit input.
• PCI-8-LF Low-frequency version 500Hz-20kHz.
• AEWIN™ software, board drivers available for OEM.
