The Huron is more than a data-acquisition and control system. This fully functional instrumentation system on a board has the following features:

Analog Inputs

  8 differential and 6 single-ended input channels

  ±  4 mV to ±  4 V in programmable decade gain ranges

  High-current built-in bridge supply, for 2, 3 or 4-wire connections

  Processing of acquired data into your choice of units

  Built-in data processing for the following sensors:

	J and K-type thermocouples
	RTDs (100W and 1 kW Platinum)
	Bridge-based pressure and force sensors
	Magnetic-vane or switch-closure flow sensors
	ADI AD22100 silicon temperature sensors

  Processing library routines downloadable for other sensors

  Simple one or two-point calibration

  Calibration parameters downloadable through serial port

  Built-in milliohmmeter

  12-bit converter resolution

  16 input and 16 output bit-lines with serial bus extension; 8 of each on-board

  2 flow sensor inputs count to 200 Hz

  Frequency counter input measures to 500 kHz with 16-bit resolution

  2 programmable pulse-width, single-shot outputs

  2 PCM outputs directly drive PCM servomotors

  SPDT, 3 A relay output

Channel-Scanning Schedules

  Total scan rates of all channels: 200 Hz

  Regular sampling intervals for all channels at programmable rates

Data Recorder & Telemetry

  Records telemetered channels. Plays back frames of time-stamped and  processed data

  ERASE, RECORD on/off, and PLAYBACK functions work like tape recorder

  Recording time to full memory and percentage of memory left commands

  32 kbytes of recorder memory for capturing transient events, capture 16,384 channel samples

  Telemetry sends database of selected channels over serial port while turned on

Clock

  Real-time clock sets and runs with 0.1 second resolution

User Interface

  Reliable IMPEL operating-system/language interprets from a list of user commands

  Libraries of transducer types and application programs compile to extend functional capability

  Power and software fault restart options for reliable recovery and operation

  Network up to 8 Hurons with RS-485 option

  RS-232 or RS-485 serial-port options

System Features

 Standard computer supply: 5 V, ±  12 V, or 5 V with on-board ±  12 V converter option.

 Compact board: 7.15 ´  4.15 inches.
