The DS5001 Digital Waveform Capture Board has been designed to carry out the acquisition of complex, high-speed digital signals, such as pulse-width-modulated waveforms or position signals from various sensors. It is capable of evaluating various signal parameters, including frequency, phase shifts, and duty cycle.
The application area of the DS5001 Digital Waveform Capture Board ranges from automotives through drives to robotics. The DS5001 is in active use in many hardware-in-the-loop and rapid control prototyping applications. It can be connected to the engine position bus of the DS2211 HIL I/O Board. This lets you perform angle-synchronous signal capturing, with the DS5001 as either a time-base slave or the master. The board can also be connected to the time-base connector of the DS4002 Timing and Digital I/O Board or other DS5001 boards, and itself function as a time-base master for other boards.
Capturing digital signals is a part of most control and hardware‑in‑the‑loop applications. However, with ordinary timing I/O, the speed, resolution, or number of channels often is not sufficient. And typically, complicated analysis algorithms are required. These usually have to be programmed in assembler language, which most users would prefer to avoid. You can overcome these limitations with the DS5001. The board records digital signals at a high speed for extremely flexible evaluation of frequency, phase, duty cycles, and other signal parameters.
The DS5001 Digital Waveform Capture Board includes 16 input channels that let you capture digital signals with a resolution of 25 ns. The board sees each signal as a series of rising and falling edges. The time stamp and polarity of each edge are stored. A processor board can use this data to perform any analysis you need. Event counters and sophisticated interrupt mechanisms enable you to evaluate not only frequencies and phases, but also signal characteristics such as jitter and missing pulses.
