Key Benefits

Built for large, scalable test systems

The Gen17tA supports up to 17 data acquisition cards, enabling extremely high channel density while maintaining a compact 19″ rack mount footprint. Multiple mainframes can be linked to further expand system size without compromising synchronization or performance.

Reliable capture of fast and non-repeatable events

Whether operating in continuous or transient mode, Gen17tA ensures secure data capture. Measurement data can be streamed to a PC, written to internal or removable SSD storage, or buffered on high speed card memory - eliminating throughput limitations during critical events.

Seamless system integration

Designed for modern test environments, Gen17tA integrates smoothly into automated and distributed systems using Ethernet based synchronization and industrial communication interfaces.

Measurement description

Gen17tA is optimized for high speed electrical and mechanical measurements in both continuous and transient acquisition modes. Measurement data can be streamed in real time, stored locally at full bandwidth, or buffered directly on the acquisition cards to guarantee loss-free recording of fast, highly dynamic signals. Precise time alignment across channels and systems is ensured through PTP based synchronization and optional IRIG/GPS timing.

Typical applications

• High channel count power and energy testing

• Automotive and e-mobility test benches

• Aerospace and defense transient measurements

• Electrical machine and inverter testing

• High speed structural, vibration, and mechanical analysis

• Large multi mainframe laboratory and test cell installations
