Rs4 Data Streamer - TDT RZ2 Manual

RS4 Data Streamer
RS4 Overview
The RS4 Data Streamer is a high performance data storage array designed to store
data streamed from the RZ2, our most powerful processor for high channel count
data acquisition. Off-loading data streaming tasks from an RZ2 to the RS4 improves
real-time performance and allows you to acquire continuous data over several days
or weeks. Access to the RS4 storage array can be provided through a network
connection, direct connection to a PC, or data transfer to a USB storage device.
The RS4 allows streaming of up to 1024 16-bit channels at rates up to ~25 kHz
and fewer channels at rates up to ~50 kHz. Streamed data is stored as individual
channels and can be stored in different numeric formats (Short, Float, etc.). Stored
data can be easily reincorporated into the OpenEx data tank format for post
processing. The RS4 is available with either 4 terabytes or 8 terabytes of storage
and features 1 or 4 streaming ports.
Power and Communication
Data is transferred to the RS4 through its streaming ports located on the back panel
of the device. A special version of the RZ2 provides matching ports used to connect
and stream data to the RS4. These ports ensure fast and reliable data transfer from
the RZ2 and are color coded for correct wiring. Communication to the RS4 is
provided through a touch screen user interface independent from the TDT system.
Firmware updates for the RS4 interface are available online through the TDT web
server. See "Config Tab" on page 2-19 for more information.
The RS4 contains an integrated switched-mode power supply. The power supply
auto-detects your region's voltage setting and no further configuration is needed. A
switch located on the back panel of the RS4 is used to enable/disable the power
supply.
