Autonomous SmartCal RTD’s latest generation of data acquisition boards meets the ever daunting task of accurately collecting a wide range of analog signals over varying environmental conditions. RTD Autonomous SmartCal boards automatically remove uncertainties of hardware setup and drift, allowing you to focus on application development and data analysis. RTD expands on this unique approach of calibration by incorporating a high-speed DSP on our latest boards for calibration and–when it’s desirable–to execute user-specific applications. A single command from the host adjusts for all range and gain offsets in less than 300 ms, compensating for all temperature dependent analog errors associated with analog front ends. The host application does not have to tie up its processing time with calibrating and can therefore perform more important user functions. The Autonomous SmartCal algorithm is stored in the on-board DSP and is operating system independent. No special host-side software is required. On-board external Flash and internal DSP memory allow the customer the ability to create user specific applications that harness the TI2812 series DSP functionality and peripherals. These include but are not limited to Pulse Width Modulators, Timer Outputs, Capture Inputs, and Compare Outputs. The DSP offers a fast, efficient approach for calibration with the added feature of on-board processing power allowing data pre-processing which in turn saves valuable CPU time. The Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO ) port provides the user with 18 digital bits configured as eight bit-programmable and 8-bit port-programmable I/O giving you any combination of inputs and outputs. Match, event, and strobe interrupt modes mean no more wasting valuable processor time polling digital inputs. Interrupts are generated when the eight bit-programmable digital inputs match a pattern or on any value change event. Bit masking allows selecting any subgroup of the eight bits. The strobe input latches data into the bit-programmable port and generates an interrupt. The on-board EPLD can be reconfigured to harness the I/O functionality of the DSP including Pulse Width Modulator, Incremental Encoder, A/D Converter, and the D/A Converter.

Each point on the graph shows how the measured value differs from the known value in Least Significant Bits (LSB). Accuracy is within ±½ LSB. RTD’s operating system independent, unique Autonomous SmartCal sets a new industry standard for data acquisition precision and accuracy over a wide temperature range.

dataModules ® “Accessing the Analog World” RTD was founded on data acquisition over 20 years ago, and has since been providing the PC/104 industry with dataModules that are second to none. We provide a wide array of data acquisition and control modules with auto-calibrating analog I/O, advanced digital I/O, SyncBus for multi-board simultaneous sampling, and a high-speed McBSP serial port in PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104, and PCI/104-Express form factors. In today’s high accuracy environments, where discerning signal from noise at high throughput rates is the difference between success and failure, RTD is continually redefining the DAQ industry. 16-bit 500 KHz A/D DM7530HR 16/32 Channel A/D DM6425HR 12-bit 1.25 MHz A/D DM7520HR Autonomous SmartCal SDM series Smart dataModules feature a DSP for software independent, multi-range auto-calibration. An on-board temperature sensor allows for triggering auto-calibration in dynamic thermal environments. An operating system independent Autonomous SmartCal performs an in-circuit offset and gain adjustment for all ranges in under 300 ms. Values acquired from the last user calibration are loaded at power up. Factory calibration defaults can also be loaded. Smart dataModules feature on-board Flash and internal DSP SRAM for user DSP applications, and are available in PC/104-Plus and PCI-104. Analog Analog I/O solutions feature 12-bit or 16-bit resolution, with FIFO buffers, sample rates up to 1.25 MHz, and 16/32 single-ended or 8/16 differential inputs. Analog outputs feature 12-bit or 16-bit resolution with up to 8 outputs. Many models combine analog and digital I/O. A channel-gain table allows for unique scanning patterns controlled by the hardware. A single trigger can initiate one scan of the entire channel-gain table in burst mode, or scan the table multiple times in multi-burst mode. Pre-, post-, and about-trigger modes ensure that you collect only the data you want. Digital Bit or byte programmable digital I/O modules are enhanced by RTD’s advanced interrupts to detect a pattern match or bit change. Options include pulse width modulators, incremental encoders, user programmable timer/counters, relays, and MOSFETs. Software dataModules include fully documented drivers, libraries, example programs and source code. Native support is provided for DOS, Windows, and Linux. Source code is provided for easy porting to other platforms, including various RTOSes. Data acquisition toolkits such as LabVIEW and MATLAB may be used with the Windows drivers. RTD develops its drivers with the application programmer in mind. The driver APIs are designed to be easy-to-use. Example programs with source code provide a starting point for developing custom applications. Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO ) The Advanced Digital I/O port provides 16 digital bits configured as eight bit-programmable and 8-bit portprogrammable I/O giving you any combination of inputs and outputs.
