ATI: F/T System Interfaces (DAQ F/T)

Connects to a variety of systems such as PCI, PCIe, PXI, USB, and more via standard data acquisition cards. The transducer's six strain gage outputs are amplified and conditioned so they can be connected directly to the inputs of standard data acquisition cards. After the strain gage voltages are digitized, ATI software performs calibration matrix calculations in the host computer to convert strain gage data into force and torque data.

• Output Format: Digital from DAQ card

• Maximum Output Rate: 16.67 kHz† to 41.67 kHz†

• Latency: 1/Output Rate

• Filtering Options: Averaging

• Anti-Aliasing Filtering: 2nd order @ 5.1 kHz

• Thresholding Discrete I/O: None. Thresholding can be custom implemented in user’s software.

• Summary: Fairly easy, most accurate synchronization, computer programming required to access drivers and DAQ card.

• Synchronization Method: Raw transducer signals can be measured together with other signals on the same data acquisition system. (Transducer signal data have to be converted to force and torque data using ATI driver.)

• Latency: Latency between actual event and analog output is a few microseconds. Update rate depends on data acquisition system settings.
