Page 110: Acquisition And Storage
GEN5i 9 Acquisition and Storage Introduction Data acquisition hardware within the GEN5i is based on the concept of a recorder. A recorder consists of a number of acquisition channels that share the same basic recording parameters sample rate, sweep length and pre- and post-trigger length.
Page 111: Acquisition
GEN5i Acquisition Since many of the features that are described here are controlled from within the Perception software, it is advised to read this section in combination with the corresponding sections in the Perception manual. The GEN5i/Perception combination provides the following acquisition controls: ●...
Page 112: Storage
GEN5i Storage The GEN5i provides two storage paths as shown in Figure 9.1 on page 110: Store data in on-board RAM at high speed Transfer data directly at reduced speed to the controlling PC or (when installed) to a local hard disk. In addition to these storage paths the GEN5i provides two fundamental storage modes: Sweeps: data storage of predefined length.
Page 113: More On Sweeps
GEN5i Figure 9.3: Acquisition: Run - Storage: Sweeps only The basic storage modes can be combined to create more advanced storage modes: Dual In this mode, sweeps as well as continuous data is stored. Therefore the end result is a recording that comprises the higher speed sweeps as well as the lower speed continuous data in between the sweeps.
Page 114: Pre-Trigger Sweeps
GEN5i Figure 9.4: Ring buffer operation of memory The physical memory therefore forms a ring buffer, into which information can be continuously added (Figure 9.4). This process of filling the ring buffer memory terminates only when the recording logic indicates that the recording must be ended.
Page 115 GEN5i Figure 9.5: Ring buffer with trigger and end-of-recording Since the trigger stops the storage, all stored information is termed pre-trigger information. When storage stops because the acquired signal has met a trigger condition, only pre-trigger information is available - information recorded before the signal met the trigger condition.
Page 116: More On Continuous Data Storage
GEN5i The usage of a variable delay counter allows for a user-definable pre-trigger length. The length of the pre-trigger segment equals the length of the memory segment minus the delay. When the length of the delay is equal to, or exceeds, the length of the memory segment, only post-trigger information is available.
Page 117 GEN5i Circular The continuous mode is circular when storage is started and stopped manually AND the length of the buffer is defined. Operation is now equal to standard sweep storage, but on PC hard disk and not in volatile memory. In this mode the lead-out is specified which is basically the same as the post-trigger segment in a sweep recording.
Page 118: Time Base
GEN5i Time base The power of modern data acquisition techniques is achieved by digitizing analog information. Digitizing is the conversion of the instantaneous value of an analog signal (static or dynamic) into a numeric value. When the signal varies, sampling the instantaneous amplitude at sufficiently rapid intervals converts this signal into a series of numbers that can represent the original analog signal.
Page 119: Time Base Settings For Fft's
GEN5i The above selection is made in the Perception software in the Settings Sheet ► Mainframe ► Internal Clock Base and is therefore mainframe-wide, i.e. the same for all recorders. A binary clock base is a useful time base settings when doing FFT’s (frequency domain analysis).

This will yield the following: Frequency resolution Δf = (½ * 40960) / (½ * 8192) = 5 Hz Number of frequency domain points: N/2 = 4096 The minimum frequency component that can be measured is equal to the frequency resolution Δf = 5 Hz The maximum frequency component that can be measured is 40.96 kHz /...
Page 122: 10 Digital Trigger Modes
GEN5i 10 Digital Trigger Modes 10.1 Introduction Within the GEN5i data acquisition system, each and every channel is equipped with a trigger detector, which makes it possible to record just the phenomenon of interest, instead of having to search the full memory to find it. The trigger detector gives the system the power to capture elusive, short and unpredictable events.
Page 123: Understanding Digital Triggering
GEN5i 10.2 Understanding digital triggering Technically speaking, there are two approaches to determine the known, pre- defined situation of the signal: analog or digital. Each channel in the GEN series system is equipped with a digital trigger detector, because it has stable vertical reference levels, because it does not encounter horizontal jitter, and because it is frequency independent.
Page 124 GEN5i As explained later in this chapter, a signal must actually cross the preset level. This is to avoid erroneous triggering on a small amount of noise on the signal. To make the trigger detector even more stable when noisy signals are used, the single-level trigger detector has been expanded with a hysteresis.
Page 125: Valid Trigger Conditions
GEN5i 10.2.2 Valid trigger conditions Trigger detection is based on level crossing: A signal has to cross a specified level to be considered a trigger condition. As a consequence, reaching the required level is not a valid trigger condition. Since trigger detection is digital, inter-sample analog values are omitted.
Page 126 GEN5i Figure 10.2 shows the influence of the additional hysteresis. Fundamentally all is the same as described earlier. The only difference now is that a second level (H) is used to 'arm' the level trigger detector. Otherwise stated, the trigger level has been expanded to be a trigger zone that spans multiple levels.
Page 127: Trigger Modes
GEN5i 10.3 Trigger modes Using the various trigger modes, your GEN5i data acquisition system is expanded to an extremely versatile transient recorder. The trigger circuits may be configured to trigger on many types of phenomena. In this section the different trigger modes and their extensions are discussed in detail. 10.3.1 Basic trigger mode The basic trigger mode can be compared with the trigger mode available when...
Page 128: Dual Trigger Mode
GEN5i 10.3.2 Dual trigger mode In dual trigger mode two detectors are active and working in parallel: the primary level P and the secondary level S. With two levels it is possible to define a range the input signal must be within. As soon as the signal becomes larger than the upper level, or smaller than the lower level, the detector will generate a trigger.
Page 129: Window Trigger Mode
GEN5i 10.3.3 Window trigger mode For the window trigger mode both levels are used. One of them has a dual function: arm and trigger, the other is used as a disarm level. To generate a trigger, the trigger detector must be armed. This is done by crossing the arm/ trigger level in the opposite direction.
Page 130: Dual-Window Trigger Mode
GEN5i 10.3.4 Dual-window trigger mode The dual-window trigger mode is a more sophisticated version of the window trigger mode. Now both levels are used as an arm/trigger/disarm level. This allows the trigger detector to react on a dip in both directions. Figure 10.6: Dual-window trigger mode Trigger Diagram A shows one situation, diagram B the other situation with the same...
Page 131: Sequential Trigger Mode
GEN5i 10.3.5 Sequential trigger mode The two level comparators are set in a sequence in this mode. One is used to arm the trigger detector while the other is used to actually generate the trigger: if the incoming signal crosses the level of the first comparator, the second is activated (armed).
Page 132: Trigger Qualifier
GEN5i 10.3.6 Trigger qualifier The trigger detectors of a channel can also be used as a qualifier. A trigger qualifier is a situation that enables (arms) the recorder trigger features. The recorder trigger features are a combination of various channel, external, between-recorders and other trigger options.
Page 133: Trigger Add-Ons
GEN5i 10.4 Trigger add-ons The mentioned trigger modes can be combined with a variety of extra features, allowing to trigger on almost any signal. Some of these extras are used to fine-tune the selected trigger mode, other features expand the capabilities of the basic trigger detector. The following simplified diagram is from the settings sheet and shows the building blocks that make the complete channel trigger logic.
Page 134: Pulse Detector
GEN5i Figure 10.9: Slope trigger Trigger Original signal Differentiated signal With the slope triggering it is possible to trigger on a specific change in slope of the signal, for example on a spike on a repetitive signal: if the slope (or frequency) of the signal exceeds the specified level, a trigger will be generated.
Page 135: Holdoff
GEN5i Figure 10.10: Pulse detector Trigger Width Figure 10.10: In diagrams A and B the pulse detection is depicted. In diagram A, when the trigger level is crossed, the signal remains above the trigger level for a time interval larger than pulse width W. In diagram B there is a situation in which the signal returns through the trigger level within pulse width W.
Page 136: Interval Timer
GEN5i Figure 10.11: Trigger holdoff Trigger Holdoff The feature is most useful in combination with the interval timer and/or the event counter. 10.4.4 Interval timer A highly sophisticated trigger add-on is the interval timer. The interval timer is used to define a time relation between two trigger events. When the time relation is correct, a trigger is generated.
Page 137: Interval Timer - More
GEN5i Figure 10.12: Interval timer - Less Trigger Interval The time interval is reset on the first new trigger event. This feature allows you to detect additional pulses in a standard train of pulses for example. Interval timer - More This interval timer mode is more complicated.
Page 138: Interval Timer - Between
GEN5i This function allows you to detect a “missing” pulse in a standard pulse train for example. Interval timer - Between For the Between mode basically two timers are used: one to set the start of a time window and a second to set the width of the time window. The second trigger event must be within this time window.
Page 139: Interval Timer - Notbetween
GEN5i The first interval timer can be compared to the trigger holdoff feature described earlier. The second interval timer defines a period in which a trigger event must occur. If not, it is not a related trigger event. Interval timer - NotBetween The inverse function of the Between mode of the interval timer is the NotBetween mode.
Page 140: Event Counter
GEN5i 10.4.5 Event counter Sometimes it is not possible to trigger on a specified condition using a selected trigger mode alone, because several events meet the required situation. So far we have seen “filters” that can be used to narrow the range of trigger candidates, like holdoff and interval timer.
Page 141: Recorder And System Trigger
GEN5i 10.5 Recorder and system trigger The trigger modes and features described so far are channel-based. Each analog channel within a GEN series system has a digital trigger detector. The trigger signals of all channels of a single recorder are combined through a logical OR to generate a combined trigger.
Page 142 GEN5i Internal Trigger Line 1 through 3: There are three internal trigger lines. These are used to transfer recorder triggers from one recorder to another. Each recorder can select to set its recorder trigger on one or more lines. It can also pick up a trigger from one or more lines.
Page 143: Channel Alarm
GEN5i 10.6 Channel alarm Each channel has the capability to generate an alarm. An alarm situation is detected with a basic dual level detector. There are two alarm modes: Basic single-level alarm. For details see "Basic trigger mode" on page 127. Dual-level alarm.

Page 190 GEN5i CAUTION HBM uses state-of-the-art electronic components in its equipment. These electronic components can be damaged by discharge of static electricity (ESD). ESD damage is quite easy to induce, often hard to detect, and always costly. Therefore we must emphasize on the importance of ESD preventions when handling a GEN5i system, its connections or a plug-in card.

Page 199: Rule 4: Interconnect Cables
GEN5i What do I need? A commonly used configuration is to place a lightning arrestor where the antenna cable enters the building (either inside or outside), because there is often a good earth ground nearby to connect to. If the cable between this lightning arrestor and the GPS receiver is longer than four meters, it is good practice to place a second lightning arrestor within four meters of the GPS receiver.

GEN5i Every one of the automatic range changes will be identified within your measurement data. Not only will your measured input be scaled correctly with the adapted input range, but also the exact moment the automatic range change happens is identified within Perception software. As the highest selectable range is ±1 kV the ultimate protection for the system will be to disconnect the input from the external signal source.

Page 274 GEN5i Figure 12.18: Full bridge layout To connect such a bridge you need a minimum of four wires. Refer to Figure 12.15 for connection details. When using a full bridge you need to inform the Perception software about this. To select full bridge completion in Perception To select full bridge completion proceed as follows: In Perception go to the Settings sheet.
Page 275: Bridge Completion - Half (1/2 Or 2/4) Bridge
GEN5i Do one of the following: In the spreadsheet style matrix in the Bridge type column select the bridge type Full. In the simplified graphical diagram click on the bridge icon (D in Figure 12.17 on page 273) until you see the full bridge representation. Bridge completion - half (1/2 or 2/4) bridge A half bridge type sensor is a sensor that has two bridge resistors on-board, completion is required.
Page 276 GEN5i You now have to provide the two additional resistors R1 and R2. To do this there are two options: Use the standard 100 kΩ resistors inside the acquisition card. Provide two resistors. In situation (1) you do not need to do anything from a hardware point of view. In situation (2) you will need to add the two resistors to the plug-in module on the locations marked HB+ and HB-.
Page 277: Bridge Completion - Quarter (1/4) Bridge
GEN5i Do one of the following: In the spreadsheet style matrix in the Bridge type column select the bridge type Half. In the simplified graphical diagram click on the bridge icon (D in Figure 12.17 on page 273) until you see the half bridge representation. When you select half bridge completion, switch S3 in Figure 12.9 will be closed.
Page 278 GEN5i In this situation a sensor is used with only one resistor R4. This resistor is placed between A and C. You now have to provide the three additional resistors R1, R2, and R3 for completion of the bridge. You do this by using the half-bridge completion as described in the previous section and adding an additional resistor R3 between C and D.
Page 279: Excitation
GEN5i Do one of the following: In the spreadsheet style matrix in the Bridge type column select the bridge type Quarter. In the simplified graphical diagram click on the bridge icon (D in Figure 12.17 on page 273) until you see the quarter bridge representation. When you select quarter bridge completion, switch S3 in Figure 12.9 on page 266 will be closed.
Page 280 GEN5i Excitation on/off: Provision for separately switching off the bridge voltage while the remainder of the measuring circuit remains operational is an important and useful feature, particularly when measuring dynamic strains. Any output observed when the bridge voltage is switched off must be due to electrical noise, as the output cannot possibly be the result of resistance changes in the measuring circuit when a bridge voltage is not present.
Page 281 GEN5i To switch the excitation on or off do one of the following (this will open/close the switch marked S2a and S2b in Figure 12.9): In the spreadsheet style matrix double-click in the correct row(s) on the Excitation column. In the simplified graphical diagram click on the excitation switch (I in Figure 12.17 on page 273).
Page 282 GEN5i Voltage: Voltage excitation. When you select voltage excitation a voltage is applied between the bridge connection marked A (plus) and the bridge connection marked D (minus). To set the voltage level do one of the following: In the spreadsheet style matrix in the Excitation span column enter the required voltage.
Page 283: Shunt Verification - Setup
GEN5i Shunt verification - setup You can use a shunt resistor to verify a bridge: when you connect a shunt resistor in parallel with resistor R4 (A-C) or R3 (C-D) of the bridge this will produce an output signal simulating strain: a deflection. With known resistor and excitation values you can calculate the theoretical deflection.
Page 284 GEN5i Select between internal or external shunt usage: in the Internal shunt column enable internal to use an internal shunt or clear the option to select an external resistor. This selection operates switch S7 in Figure 12.9. Depending on the selection: When internal is chosen select the correct value in the Shunt value column: or type the value of the CAL resistor.
Page 285: Shunt Verification - Procedure
GEN5i Select the bridge arm to operate switch S5 in Figure 12.9 on page 266: In the sheet use the Active gage column to select between Positive (A-C) or Negative (C-D). In the simplified block diagram click on the Remote calibration select switch (B in Figure 12.17 on page 273) to switch between the two gages.

Page 287: Bridge Balance
GEN5i Bridge balance The bridge circuit is only in balance (has no output when the bridge voltage is applied) provided that R1 / R2 = R4 / R3. Taking into account the various resistance tolerances on the strain gage(s), resistors and leadwires, an initial unbalance is invariably present.
Page 288 GEN5i Verify command Warning settings Channel select Schematic block diagram of balance circuit To balance a bridge To balance a bridge in Perception do the following: In Perception go to the Settings sheet. In the task pane select Bridge Balance in the Sensors section. Use the Balance Enable column to enable/disable the balancing of channels.

Page 305 GEN5i 12.12 5B Integration card What is a 5B Integration card? The Genesis data acquisition system offers a variety of standard input cards to cover the most important physical application requirements. In situations where non-standard or specific requirements are needed, for example LVDT or PT100 signals that need to be conditioned and acquired, the 5B Integration card is used.
Page 306 GEN5i What is a 5B module? A 5B module is a single-channel fixed-range amplifier, these modules are the standard for fixed application signal conditioning in the lab and the factory floor. They offer small footprint, defined input and output connections, isolation, and good price/performance.
Page 307 GEN5i Using the 5B Integration card with Genesis series The 5B Integration card is designed to work seamlessly with the GEN series mainframes, up to six 5B preamplifier modules can be attached to a card that supplies a range of fused supply voltages to the modules and has enough front panel space to mount the required input and output connectors.
Page 308 From there the special card can be “customized” on site in local service department or through an outside vendor. The 5B Integration card can be ordered from HBM and the 5B modules from any of the 5B vendors. The cabling, connectors and the specific documentation have to be done by the designer.
Page 309 GEN5i How to use the 5B based amplifier with Genesis and Perception As an example of a working 5B Integration card we will consider a card with two 5B modules mounted, one being an f to V converter and one being a TC module.
Page 310: 5B Integration Card Specifications
(input/ output/power) has to be implemented and additional Genesis input channels have to be used to receive the 5B modules output signal, HBM's Basic module series (GN810, GN811) are most suited for this task.

Page 499: B Maintenance
HBM recommends that every GEN5i system should be tested and if necessary, calibrated, at one year intervals or after any major event that may effect calibration. When in doubt consult the local supplier.
Page 500: Solid State Disk Maintenance
Some drives work for a decade or longer, but every year that passes after three years increases the chances of a failure. Therefore HBM advises if the instrument uses a hard disk drive to replace it at least every two years to prevent loss of data or inactivity of the instrument.
Page 501: Cleaning
GEN5i Cleaning To clean the instrument, disconnect all power sources and wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water. The GEN5i does not require additional routine cleaning. If the cooling inlets on the side of the instrument become clogged with dust, use a small brush and/or vacuum cleaner to remove the dust.
Page 502: C Service Information
A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be issued. Attach this number to the unit and/or the accompanying paperwork. During the warranty period, the customer pays for shipping to HBM. HBM will pay for the return of the equipment in the same fashion as it was received.
Page 503: Calibration/Verification
GEN5i Calibration/verification The GEN series Data Acquisition System is factory calibrated as delivered to the customer. Swapping, replacing or removing of boards may result in minor deviations to the original calibration. The GEN series system should be tested and if necessary, calibrated, at one year intervals or after any major event that may effect calibration.

Page 528: General On Probes
GEN5i General on probes Due to the high capacitive load of the input of the universal amplifier, special care must be taken when selecting a probe for measurements. This section describes some related issues. A probe makes a physical and electrical connection between a test point or signal source and the instrument.
Page 529: Probes
GEN5i 1X Probes 1X probes, also known as 1:1 (one-to-one) probes, simply connect the input of the instrument to the circuit being measured. They are designed for minimum loss and easy connection, but otherwise they are equivalent to using a cable to connect the instrument.
Page 530 GEN5i Frequency Figure D.14: Frequency response with 1X probe Example: assume a voltage source with a 1 MΩ resistance and a 1X probe with 50 pF capacitance (a 1X probe by itself has no resistance). The universal amplifier input has a 1 MΩ resistance and a 100 pF capacitance. This yields a –...
Page 531: Probes
GEN5i 10X Probes 10X probes (also called 10:1 probes, divider probes, or attenuating probes) have a resistor and capacitor (in parallel) inserted into the probe. Figure D.15 shows the circuit for the 10X probe connected to a high-impedance input of an instrument.
Page 532: Probes And Differential Measurements
GEN5i IMPORTANT For a correct compensation it is necessary that both impedances have the same value, i.e. R1C1 = R2C2. In practice, this condition may not be met exactly but can be approximated. The probe’s compensation capacitor is usually made adjustable somewhere between 10 pF and 50 pF to compensate for the instrument’s input capacitance.
Page 533: Shunt Measurements
GEN5i Shunt measurements Special care must be taken with shunt measurements. Typical shunt measurements generate signals with an amplitude of only a few volts or even mV. To prevent interference from higher voltage signals (up to 100 V) the following guidelines apply: Use only coaxial cables for all measurements.

Page 560: Dy/Dt Triggering
GEN5i dY/dT Triggering Basic setting definitions: The result of substracting two ADC values Specifies the time between the two samples substracted These two setting values are independent from each other. So the user needs to specify both explicitly for the trigger unit to do a correct job. Perception, nor the GEN series can recalculate the 2 settings to extract a useable setting.
