Compact High Channel Count, High Frequency, Rotating Data Acquisition and Transmission

In order to address the expanding need for high fidelity, wide bandwidth data acquisition for an increasing number of sensors in high speed rotating environments, Progeny Systems proposes a reliable, ultra-compact data acquisition system that advances the state of the art using cutting edge components and a novel architecture that is modular, scalable, and easy to install.The proposed system, called the Compact Scalable Data Acquisition System, employs a highly configurable design that can interface with, signal condition, and simultaneously sample up to 449 sensor channels at greater than 300kS/s.The approach overcomes the limitations associated with the inability to pass large quantities of wires through analog slip rings.The proposed system supports both high channel count and high bandwidth requirements.The design significantly reduces the required slip ring wire count, enabling expansion to higher RPM systems.
