Key Benefits

Optimized for fixed and distributed installations

As a tethered mainframe, Gen7tB is ideal for test benches, rack‑mounted systems, and distributed installations. It operates stand‑alone or connected to a PC via Ethernet and provides local data storage, ensuring dependable operation even in complex setups.

Secure recording of fast, non‑repeatable events

Gen7tB supports both continuous and transient acquisition modes, allowing measurement data to be streamed to a PC, written to internal or removable SSD storage, or buffered on high‑speed input card memory. This guarantees loss‑free recording of highly dynamic signals without throughput limitations.

Scalable and synchronized measurement systems

With PTPv2 time synchronization and an optional Master/Sync connection, Gen7tB can be synchronized with other Genesis HighSpeed mainframes, enabling precise, time‑aligned measurements across large multi‑mainframe systems.

Key features

• Up to 224 analog, 96 digital, and 12 timer/counter channels

• 100 MB/s continuous streaming to a PC

• PTPv2 time synchronization

• Linux‑based operating system with local data storage

• Perception software support with patented fast data visualization

Available options

• Removable SSD with up to 350 MB/s continuous recording

• Optical 1 Gbit Ethernet

• 10 Gbit Ethernet (optical or electrical) with up to 400 MB/s streaming

• Master/Sync for multi‑mainframe operation

• CAN FD input, output, and remote control

• EtherCAT^® real‑time output and remote control

• IRIG/GPS time synchronization

• GEN DAQ API for system integration

Measurement description

Gen7tB is optimized for high‑speed electrical and mechanical measurements in both continuous and transient acquisition modes. Measurement data can be streamed in real time over Ethernet, stored locally on internal or removable SSDs, or captured directly in the acquisition cards’ high‑speed RAM to ensure loss‑free recording of fast, highly dynamic signal events. Precise time alignment is achieved through Ethernet‑based synchronization.

Typical applications

• High‑channel‑count transient recording in fixed installations

• Electrical and mechanical system testing

• Power, automotive, aerospace, and industrial test benches

• Distributed and synchronized multi‑mainframe measurement systems

• Advanced DAQ systems requiring open integration via API, EtherCAT, or CAN FD
