GenHS 7-slot Integrated Mainframe

Key Benefits

High performance in a portable, all‑in‑one system

Gen7iA supports up to 7 data acquisition cards, delivering high channel counts in a compact, instrument‑style configuration. The integrated PC and touch display eliminate the need for external hardware, making the system ideal for mobile and bench‑top use.

Secure capture of critical and non‑repeatable events

Supporting both continuous and transient acquisition modes, Gen7iA ensures reliable recording of fast, highly dynamic signals. Measurement data can be written directly to internal or removable SSDs, streamed to an external PC, or buffered in high‑speed card memory to prevent data loss—even during power interruptions.

Scalable and synchronized measurement systems

With PTPv2 time synchronization and optional Master/Sync, Gen7iA can be synchronized with other Genesis HighSpeed mainframes, enabling precise, time‑aligned measurements across multi‑system installations.

Key features

• Integrated Windows^® PC with large, high‑resolution touch screen
• Up to 224 analog, 96 digital, and 12 timer/counter channels
• 350 MB/s continuous streaming to SSD
• Remote access from an external PC
• Perception Enterprise software for advanced analysis
• Power‑failure data security and Wake‑on‑LAN
• PTPv2 time synchronization

Available options

• Master/Sync for multi‑mainframe operation
• IRIG/GPS time synchronization
• Optical 1 Gbit Ethernet
• 10 Gbit Ethernet with up to 400 MB/s streaming
• Removable OS drive and removable data drive for enhanced data security

Measurement description

Gen7iA is optimized for high‑speed electrical and mechanical measurements in both mobile and stationary environments. Measurement data can be streamed in real time, stored locally at high bandwidth, or captured in transient mode using the acquisition cards’ high‑speed RAM to guarantee loss‑free recording of fast signal events. Precise time alignment across channels and systems is achieved through Ethernet‑based synchronization.

Typical applications

• Portable and mobile data acquisition with high channel counts
• Transient recording of fast electrical and mechanical events
• Advanced laboratory and bench‑top testing
• Distributed or synchronized multi‑mainframe test systems
• Measurement tasks requiring advanced analysis and reporting with Perception Enterprise

Windows 10 Safety-Information:

The integrated mainframes run Perception on the integrated PC, which can not get upgraded to Windows 11. Since free support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025, Microsoft will offer a payed service for 3 additional years of safety-updates. You can reach out to Microsoft for the service.
