AE Equipment

The DiSP-16BT AE Controller is based on a high-performance PC, designed for both laboratory and light industrial applications and able to house up to four 4-Channel AE subsystem PCI cards for a total of 16 channels of simultaneous feature/waveform based AE. The DiSP-16 is based on a heavy- duty desktop PC computer chassis with added features for reliable day-to-day operation, including extra cooling and ventilation, and incorporating the latest powerful PC computer motherboard. The PC Main AE Controller gives the user the lowest cost for a high-performance AE system. The system is certified by PAC to run AEwin, PACs latest Windows software, and includes 16 Hit LED on the front panel and an on-board Ethernet 10/100 Mbit interface.

Similarly, the DiSP-24 is a portable, hardened and compact AE system, equipped with a handle for carrying and an integral keyboard built within the hinged front protective cover. Weighing less than 17.3 kg with up to 24 channels, the DiSP-24 is 53 cm x 35 cm x 19 cm. Inside this small enclosure is a powerful PC computer, large hard disk, floppy drive, CD-RW drive, and the standard complement of parallel printer port, serial port, USB and mouse port. Built-in AE features include a digitally controlled high fidelity AE audio monitor, 8 parametrics and AE Hit indicator LEDs. System communications capabilities include built-in Ethernet 10/100 LAN and optional AE system expansion interface for connecting multiple DiSP Systems to one AE test. The optional "PAC AE System Viewer" software provides the ability for remote control over the company network.

The DiSP-56 AE Workstation, houses an entire acoustic emission system including up to 56-Channels of simultaneous feature/waveform based AE channels, 56 Hit LEDs on the front panel, fully integrated and digitally controlled, high fidelity, AE audio monitor, powerful, integral PCI-bus based computer and all standard PC computer peripherals (such as floppy, hard disk, CD-RW drive, serial and parallel interface ports). The DiSP-56 is a heavy duty, industrial, desktop (or rack mountable) chassis with high capacity cooling and ventilation for reliable day-to-day operation. The system is 44 cm x 27 cm x 48 cm and weighs 27 Kgs. The DiSP-56 comes complete with external CRT monitor, keyboard and mouse. System communications capabilities include; built-in Ethernet 10/100 LAN, and optional AE system expansion interface for connecting multiple DiSPs to one AE test. The optional "PAC AE System Viewer" software provides the ability for remote control over the company network.

The DiSP-56T, "All-in-one" chassis, consists of a standard DiSP-56 rack mount chassis integrated inside a rugged transit case that also contains a flat screen LCD display, printer, keyboard, mouse and all wiring pre-connected to the DiSP-56 so that all one has to do to operate the system is to connect the AC line cord and sensors, power-up, and begin testing. Using the DiSP-56T transit case, results in lower shipping costs, excellent system protection during transportation and very fast AE test set-up times. The DiSP-56T All-in-one transit case is a 7U, rack mountable transit case with internal shock mounts to protect the internal DiSP-56, and removable front and rear panels. 6U of the case height holds the DiSP-56 channel chassis and 1U holds a keyboard/mouse drawer. The front cover is hinged at the top and contains an integral 14" flat screen LCD, CRT monitor, with SVGA resolution. The rear panel contains a rugged bubble jet printer. Overall dimensions of the DiSP-56 Transit case is 82 cm x 53 cm x 39 cm a total system weight of 56 kgs.
