Apollo PCIe

The Apollo PCIe-Express measuring cards provide a means to implement individually composed, low-cost, high-precision vibro-acoustic measurement systems with a large number of channels. The synchronized sample rate of DC … 204kHz per channel with a dynamic range of 120dB of the integrated ADCs ensure a wide range of applications.

The Apollo PCI-Express measuring cards are especially well suited for:

Data acquisition and analysis
Customized multi-channel vibro-acoustic measuring instruments
Noise and vibration monitoring
Machinery and equipment status monitoring
Acoustic camera
Quality assurance
Research and development

Features

Freely configurable multi-channel measurement systems

The Apollo_PCIe cards allow implementation of customized, sample-synchronized multi-channel measurement systems. Based on the Apollo_PCIe measuring card range and high-quality industrial PCs made in Germany we offer pre-assembled complete solutions. These devices will be equipped with Apollo PCI-Express measuring cards as per customer request and come as a tested complete system including a comprehensive final inspection report.

Highest quality at fair prices:

The Apollo_PCIe measuring cards are fully compatible with the Soundbook_MK2 measuring instrument. So even at a low investment level you will be provided with top-level measuring equipment.

Highest precision provided by a 24-bit ADC in combination with a new powerful Apollo filter processor

Our new powerful Apollo filter processor allows highest-precision real-time analysis with a large number of channels. Integrated weighting filters complying with IEC 61672 for sound level meters, Class 0 filters complying with IEC 61260 for the 1/3 or 1/1 octave analyzer, HVMA weighting filters complying with DIN EN SO 8041, ISO-2631, ISO 5349, ISO-8662, UNI-2614, UNI-11048 and UNI-9916, filters for the evaluation of mechanical vibrations complying with DIN ISO 7919, ISO 2954, ISO 10816 and DIN45666 as well as high and low pass filters provide resource-saving calculation directly on the hardware.
24-bit ADCs safeguard a high signal bandwidth with a linearity range >110dB (typical) complying with DIN 61672, crosstalk <80dB, phase error <0.01°@20kHz and a sample rate of up to 204.8kHz (switchable per channel).

Comprehensive service channels permit universal application

The Apollo_PCIe service channels enable external triggering with an adjustable triggering level or speed measurements via 2x tacho channels from 0.1Hz to 6MHz. Each optionally available APOLLO_PCIe-SLOW 1-slot extension card may be used for additional acquisition of 8 slow process signals with 24 bit DC … 200Hz and the connection of a GPS receiver.

High-precision synchronisation via cable

Multiple Apollo_light devices can be synchronised for sample-synchronous operation using a flat ribbon cable. The synchronisation offers sample synchronicity with less than 0.5° phase difference at up to 20 kHz.

Software and drivers naturally downward compatible

The downward compatibility of our drivers and software ensure long-term investment planning. Our SINUS_driver and SAMURAI support all new and legacy SINUS measuring instruments.
