Multi-Channel Sensor Board

Thu, 01 Mar 2007 23:23:57 +0100

The sensor board can be interfaced with commercial Zigbee-based devices, e.g., motes. The system currently supports acoustic and seismic input signals, although it can be configured for other types of sensory inputs. Applications include acoustic localization and tracking of moving vehicles and gunshot detection, localization and classification.

16-Channel, 18-bit Analog Input Board for UEI's PowerDNA Cube

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 20:09:16 +0100

A unique and powerful feature of the DNA-AI-207 is input offset auto-zero, which removes offset fluctuations over time and temperature. This reduces the temperature drift to a few microvolts over the full specified range of 0 to 85 °C. Another great feature, the oversampling engine, allows the board to oversample inputs, automatically average them in real time, and...
