Optimizing power, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, increasing life span, and weight reduction are all goals in the development of any new engine. The measurement and I/O technology used during the engine testing process must be precise, durable, and flexible. The largest automotive engine manufacturers in the world meet these exacting demands by using Gantner Instruments.
Q.brixx
The Q.brixx DAQ system takes the functionality and precision of the Q.series and delivers it in a scalable and portable package housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure. Several I/O module types are available allowing you to “mix and match” measurement features with your test and measurement applications needs. Up to 16 modules can be added to the Q.brixx DAQ system, including a choice of test controllers, measurement modules, and a number of flexible signal conditioning options.
Q.bloxx EC
Distributed measurement and control systems are easily configured with Q.bloxx modules and a single test controller (many to choose from). The Q.bloxx modules are connected to the controller via high-speed RS-485 interfaces. Even with this distributed approach, it is easily possible to achieve synchronized measurements with a total system jitter of less than 1µs. The test controller manages all of this and provides the time-stamped data to a wide variety of host systems via a wide variety of communication methods – in parallel.
A key benefit to this approach is the ability to simultaneously provide deterministic closed loop control (via EtherCAT) and high-speed data acquisition (via Ethernet).
