LAN-XI

LAN-XI is a modular data acquisition system and analyzer platform providing you with a flexible front end capable of delivering over 1000 channels in a portable DAQ system. Both LAN-XI and LAN-XI Light are designed to deliver unrivalled dynamic input range for capturing sound and vibration data in a wide range of demanding measurement applications.

DAQ Module

LAN-XI DAQ modules and hardware is a versatile system of modules, frames, input and output modules, and front panels. Use a single module, a stand-alone data acquisition frontend, or join together multiple modules in a frame to increase your channel count. The Sample synchronization, using precision time protocol (PTP) and GPS, enables you to build a distributed DAQ system based on multiple frontends, and is the ideal hardware for BK Connect®, PULSE LabShop, Sonoscout®, and Test for I-deas.

Rahmen

LAN-XI DAQ Frames enable you to collect modules together to increase the channel count of your front end, as well as provide additional functionality. Frames (with one or more modules) can be used for single frontend systems or as part of a distributed system.

Frontplatten

Our LAN-XI modules are compatible with front panels and configured with unique connectors, enabling you to use the same modules for different transducers and setups. The front panels let you decide which cable type to use and make swapping transducers easy, and resulting in fewer patch panels, cable adaptors, less "cable spaghetti" and faster setup time.

LAN-XI Data Acquisition

Our LAN-XI Data Acquisition System is a versatile family of DAQ hardware, modules and equipment designed for flexibility, robustness, and ease of use.

Flexible channel configurations
Our LAN-XI modules function individually and provided with a battery power module, you can create small, rugged, low channel-count systems. The various input and output DAQ modules can be assembled in frames of 5 or 11 modules.

The frames can be setup together creating a DAQ system with over 1000 channels.
Distributed systems
Individually our DAQ modules can be distributed close to the test object to keep transducer cables short to avoid noise and tangled cables. Connected by LAN cables that also supply power over Ethernet (PoE).

These modules create the ideal ideal system for large-scale measurements such as flight noise certification tests, ground vibration tests (GVT), automotive pass-by tests, and ship self-noise monitoring (SNMS).
Versatility
Versatility and flexibility are at the heart of LAN-XI. You can easily remove modules to split your data acquisition systems up for single measurements, or combine the modules when large tests are needed.

You can attach many different types of input panels to connect the transducers of your choice. Should your needs change over time, you can easily add additional modules or specialized multichannel connections, enabling faster data sampling rate or bridge transducers.
OPEN-API Protocol (License Included)
LAN-XI Open API is a lightweight, platform-independent interface for programming LAN-XI data acquisition hardware from your own (or third party) software. The LAN-XI Open API interface is a wire-protocol based on REST and JSON technologies.

Advantages of LAN-XI DAQ systems

The bandwidth, channels, signal conditioning, and other modules can be configured via our online platform, enabling easy control, recording, and display feedback via a smartphone or pc. In addition both systems;

can be used as a simple data recorder of sound and vibration time data (featuring 12 channels on LAN-XI and 4 channels for LAN-XI Light)
automatically incorporates data from transducers equipped with transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) IEEE 1451.4
are able to transmit data wirelessly with the use of Wireless LAN Frame Type 3660-A-20x
have a circular LED showing when channels are in use, and indicate signal clipping at a glance. This is also shown on the modules' LCD screen.
provide Dyn-X technology eliminating the need for input ranging with dual A/D converters, and secures data recording – with an effective dynamic range of over 160 dB

LAN-XI Light modules are tough data acquisition units that capture time data from up to four channels, and are ideally suited for use with BK Connect Applets, specific tools for specific tasks. All LAN-XI Light modules can be used together with Battery Module Type 2831 and Wireless LAN Frame Type 3660-A to create a portable, remote recorder.

The default configuration of LAN-XI Light Type 3677 (4-channel input and one channel output) data acquisition module uses Front Panel UA-3100-041, which has four BNC connectors and one BNC output channel that can be used as a signal generator with frequency range from 0 to 25.6 kHz. However, Type 3677 can also use optional Front Panel UA-3102-041 to support 200 V microphones requiring 7-pin LEMO connectors.

The signal generator can be easily set up using BK Connect, controlling excitation type, frequency parameters, output level, level ramp up/down times, and burst excitation. The software supports sine (fixed frequency), stepped sine, continuous and burst random, periodic and pseudo-random, white noise and user-defined waveforms.

USE SCENARIOS

Any general sound and vibration recording and analysis, such as troubleshooting, where a single, four-channel module meets channel-count needs
Production quality testing of consumer goods, such as quick pass/fail measurements according to a tolerance curve
Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) recording under demanding conditions such as on a motorcycle on a vehicle test track
Battery-operated recording in the field, such as traffic noise
Evaluating sound quality metrics (loudness, sharpness and articulation index)
Generator output for structural testing such as modal analysis

CHARACTERISTICS

LAN-XI Light’s buttons and LCD screen can be used for control and feedback. LED rings around each channel indicate its status by color. Available memory and overload displays are shown on the LCD screen.
