SATURN Modules
Each SATURN chassis can hold several SATURN Module Carrier Boards.
The Saturn Module Carrier Boards are designed in 6U cPCI format, equipped with reconfigurable logic and a large data memory. Each board can carry two different modules, either Basic 120, Fast 150, Event Marker or Analog Output. All the functions can be realised also in a galvanic isolation version via a digital fiber transmission module and battery powered "satellite" housings for the modules.
Optional: Galvanic Isolation for measurements in the case of floating potential can be realised safely with SATURN Fiber-Optic-Satellites, available for Basic 120, Fast 150, Event Marker, Analog Output. A digital transmission module connecting a data management board with a battery power "satellite" housing realises the galvanic isolation and bridge over of km long distances. Perfectly synchronised acquisition is guaranteed even in the case of mixed fiber lengths and in combination with normal modules. The intelligent control of the battery "power packs" ensures maximum operation time and permanent control.
SATURN Modul Series Basic 120
The Basic 120 series offers of 8 channels per module at a maximum of 3MS/s single ended 16 bit or 2MS/s 18 bit. With two modules 16 channels per slot can be realised in a very space saving way.
SATURN Modul Series Fast 150
The Fast 150 series are the high-end data acquisition modules. They offer differential inputs with resolutions in a range from 8 to 18 bit and sampling rates starting at 200kS/s up to 2GS/s. There are also switchable modules available, which for instance provide 100MS/s in 1 channel mode, 50MS/s in 2 and 25MS/s in 4 channel mode. The bandwidth is adapted automatically according to the seetings.
The frontend amplifiers are always differential and are available with 6 input ranges, switchable input impedance (50 Ohm / 1 MOhm, AC / DC). The frontend amplifiers are also available with an enhanced signal to noise ratio and a bit enhancement through intelligent over sampling. The data trigger and TTL trigger input is possible for each module separately.
