HBM introduces GEN7i to its Genesis Highspeed range

The new hardware from HBM combines a fully featured WindowsR 7 PC, with a large high-resolution touch screen and a robust seven-slot acquisition unit. At a single touch, the GEN7i can adapt into a dedicated instrument for analysis and sophisticated reporting, using full Perception software options, which are pre-installed on the system.

Designed for fast and reliable processing of large quantities of data, Perception software is suitable for high-speed data acquisition. By allowing 10 gigabytes of data to be visualised within 10s, "live' data feeds enable users to keep up to date on the status of measurements. The software also allows users to access saved data, even during running measurements whilst recording continues in the background.

Depending on the selected operating mode of the GEN7i - continuous or transient - measurement data can also be initially buffered in high speed RAM on the input card, to offer transient recording without any throughput limitations, or transferred directly to the internal DDD. It can also be stored on to the optional removable disc or transferred to an external PC or to an NAS (Network Attached Storage).

In addition, the removable hard drive allows for mission-critical data - or even the complete system software - to be stored in a secure location within seconds, offering excellent security for your data.

The GEN7i, which supports the Precision Time Protocol, can be easily integrated into a system with other devices without difficulty, if required. This also makes it possible to synchronise the times of multiple devices networked via Ethernet, regardless of the product family.

HBM's portable GEN7i High Speed Transient Recorder and Data Acquisition System offers a virtually unlimited range of application possibilities, both in the field and in the laboratory. Setting new performance and usability benchmarks in the portable high-end marketplace, the GEN7i offers unmatched DAQ and transient recording capabilities in one simple product.

The Genesis HighSpeed range of Transient Recorders and Data Acquisition Systems share the highest sample rates and mid to high channel counts. Based on modular platforms, all models can be configured to the need of the application, be it a single channel or a thousand. All systems in the Genesis HighSpeed range from HBM are available out-of-the-box and ready to use immediately.
