PhoenixKonnect™

An intuitive software solution for control, channel/signal validation, capture, analysis, and archiving of data. Supports simultaneous transient and streaming capture from multiple sources. PhoenixKonnect post-processing options support custom Python scripts and Kornucopia (The Noisy Data Experts™), a Matlab-based tool for analyzing physical test data.

MECALC

The ALI25 is the industry’s first 5M Sa/s, 24-bit acquisition module (datasheet) with a flat bandwidth response greater than 2 MHz, slew rates greater than 50 V/us and built-in signal conditioning for bridge-type transducers. WSB and ICP streaming modules are also available and supported by PhoenixKonnect.

SD-VXI

The SD VX2824x & VX2805x have been an industry standard for high-speed transient data capture for over 20 years. PhoenixKonnect supports existing VX2824x & 2825x cards, while offering sites a means to extend the operational life of their existing hardware investment.

OLD MEETS NEW

PhoenixKonnect provides a cost-effective upgrade path from aging SD VIDAS systems utilizing SD-VXI and legacy IMPAX / IMPAX-SD software running on deprecated operating systems, while offering new features and the support SD customers are accustomed to.

Our software is compatible with modern Windows platforms. PhoenixKonnect provides the flexibility to conduct testing on dedicated SD-VXI and MECALC systems, or transparently blend both platforms for a unified data acquisition test plan.

MECALC ATE Recap

KEY SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS:

Configure systems up to 1000 channels.
Creates test plans for configuring sensors in a wide range of options (voltage substitution, current-injection, bridge-balancing and support for TEDS.
Verifies measurement integrity prior to data capture with continuous pre-trigger monitoring, summarized channel information and sensor-fault detection.
Group channels (in clusters) to support streaming or transient data , independent triggers and sample rate settings.
Applies templated transducer settings for quick and convenient channel configurations.
Multi-chassis coordination ensures detection of events is time and phase synchronous.
Post-event signal processing scans each channel and graphically highlights both analog and digital overloads.
