Introduction The QuantumX Rugged DAQ series The QuantumX Rugged DAQ series is a modular and universally applicable measurement system. The modules can be individually combined and intelligently connected according to the measurement task. The distributed operation makes it possible to position individual modules close to the measuring points, resulting in short sensor lines.

Each QuantumX measurement channel generates two signals. These signals can be individually parameterized with a different data rate and filter. Parameterization is easiest to implement with the “QuantumX Assistant” software (Signal tab). If several modules are connected together via the FireWire bus, signals can be sent in real time (isochronous), e.g.
Master must be used for synchronization. This is also a requirement if the QuantumX modules are a long distance away from one another and a FireWire connection would be too complex.
Page 16
Introduction Synchronization via an NTP server Each QuantumX module can synchronize its internal clock with an NTP server. The NTP time is distributed to the other modules via FireWire. It is possible to achieve accuracies in the 100 μs range, although this depends on the relevant Ethernet utilization.
Page 17
Introduction Synchronization via IRIG-B IRIG-B is a standardized time coding. To time-synchronize the QuantumX system, the digital or analog modulated time signal is sent externally to any analog voltage input of the amplifier type MX840A-P (see assignment, Chapter 6.2.1). The B127 format uses an analog modulation. Connection is identical to that of a 10 V voltage sensor.

These time stamps are appended to the measured values. You can choose from several synchronization methods: S Synchronizing via FireWire S Synchronizing via EtherCAT (CX27) S Synchronizing via NTP (Network Time Protocol) with FireWire S Synchronizing via NTP without FireWire QuantumX Rugged DAQ...
Software Software The supplied QuantumX System CD contains a powerful software package consisting of the QuantumX Assistant, programming libraries for .NET/COM, TEDS Editor, FireWire driver and ® a program for module firmware updating. The software product catman EASY is available as an independent product package.
AutoSequence automates repeating measurement or analysis steps EasyPlan enables preparatory parameterization and configuration without amplifier connection EasyScript is based on current VBA standard (Visual Basic for Applications) and enables writing of own scripts for individual measurement tasks QuantumX Rugged DAQ...
Programmers can directly access functions of other programs via APIs and use these in their own programs. With the API, you have full access to all QuantumX functions through an individually programmed application, e.g. your own operator interface.

The HBM TEDS Editor can read, edit and write TEDS data directly via a measurement channel or via the HBM TEDS dongle. If TEDS is retrofitted, the Editor will provide the corresponding templates for various transducer types. Some templates can be stored and loaded.
These indicate which degree of protection a housing offers against contact or foreign bodies (first digit) and moisture (second digit). The QuantumX Rugged DAQ modules are available in housings with degree of protection IP67 (as per DIN EN 60529).

TEDS in the transducer connector. Amplifiers with direct connection of IEPE transducers support TEDS Version 1.0. A special TEDS module is integrated in some HBM transducers, this can transmit the TEDS data via the feedback line of a sensor (patented “zero-wire circuit”).

The following figure shows the retrofitting of TEDS in a plug. HBM recommends the TEDS module (1-wire EEPROM) DS24B33 from Dallas Maxim. Minimum requirements to read and write this chip are firmware version 1.21.16 / 2.21.16 and TEDS Editor version 3.3.
This allows the modules to achieve a high stability without having to cyclically freeze the measured value. Autoadjustment is switched on the default settings. The cyclical calibration can be briefly ® deactivated via the QuantumX Assistants and via catmanEASY QuantumX Rugged DAQ...
