TransLog High Speed High Resolution Data Recorder

More about TransLog

The TransLog is a notebook size
high speed transient data recorder, containing up to 8 channels.   TransLog has a wide range of uses, especially in data logging applications where many signals must be examined and recorded simultaneously.  Often triggering from one or more of its inputs, TransLog makes it possible to capture fast transient events that would normally be missed.  High resolution and large memory ensures that events can be recorded accurately over long periods and magnified as required.   Multiple cursors and colour traces, allows the user quick and easy analysis in terms of time and amplitude.    Long pre-trigger and post-trigger memory allows detailed examination of events before and after the main trigger, ensuring measurement data is not lost.   A large 14.1" TFT screen ensures clear viewing without connecting to an external display or PC.  Recorder mode offers direct storage to hard disk at rates of 15MHz.  Data can be stored in a number ways and the storage capability is enhanced using 100Mbit Ethernet or USB 2 interfaces.

TraNET Transient Recorder PC Rack Systems

The TraNET is ideal for configuring large multi channel systems but based on the TransLog measurement performance and specification
Up to 32 differential channels per PC rack
Up to 64 single ended channels per PC rack
TraNET PC rack systems can be linked to allow greater than 64 transient recorder channels
Ethernet comms and control for Networking
Mouse & keyboard are supplied, external monitor is required

Custom system based on 32 differential channels

Typical applications
  • Crash Testing
  • Shock wave and shock experiments in pipes (more channels can be added using an external housing)
  • Materials testing
  • Military industries and military research institutes measuring pressures during detonation or blast, speed of missiles (up to 10000m/s)
  • Applications where the TransLog is used instead of an high sampling 4 channel oscilloscope, like sonar, ultrasonics and motor drives
  • Ultrasonic imaging systems like Sonar
  • PWM motor drives and ac drive systems 
  • Examination of low voltage switches, protection relays and circuit breakers
  • Disturbance capture
  • Service tool for power station and power distribution
