LAN-XI 3160 – Input and Generator Output Module (DC to 51.2 kHz)

LAN‑XI 3160 is a highly versatile input and generator output module designed for test environments that require both precise signal acquisition and controlled system excitation. With configurations of 2 inputs/2 outputs or 4 inputs/2 outputs, it forms a complete stand‑alone analyzer or integrates seamlessly as part of a larger modular DAQ system for multi‑channel measurements. Supporting a frequency range from DC to 51.2 kHz across all channels, LAN-XI 3160 is ideal for audio, electro‑acoustic, structural, and general sound and vibration testing.

Equally at home in portable setups or large, synchronized test systems, 3160 operates flawlessly as a LAN‑XI module for distributed data acquisition, enabling flexible placement near test objects for cleaner signals and reduced cabling.

Designed for audio, electro-acoustic and vibration testing

LAN-XI 3160 is built for applications requiring system excitation, combining precision inputs with powerful generator outputs. Typical use scenarios include:

  • General sound and vibration measurements
  • Excitation-based testing for loudspeakers, microphones, and other electro‑acoustic devices
  • Audio system verification and signal chain testing
  • Front‑end module for PULSE™ LabShop, BK Connect® and Tescia® data recorders
  • Single‑module or multi‑module distributed system configurations
  • Wireless field setups 
  • Stand‑alone recording (no PC) with memory card

The combination of inputs and generator outputs allows complete closed‑loop testing, making 3160 one of the most versatile LAN-XI modules available. Interchangeable front panels offer compatibility with diverse transducers, including CCLD microphones and accelerometers, tacho probes and 200 V microphones.

Key advantages

  • 2 or 4 input channels + 2 generator output channels provide exceptional flexibility for both measurement and excitation setups
  • DC to 51.2 kHz input/output range suitable for audio, ultrasonic, and broadband vibration testing
  • HBK's Dyn-X and REq-X technologies for superior dynamic range and transducer response equalization
  • Supports TEDS transducers, enabling automated setup and sensor identification
  • Interchangeable front panels to adapt to various connector types and measurement tasks
  • Compatible with distributed LAN-XI test systems using synchronized sampling (precision time protocol (PTP) and GPS)
  • Magnesium construction for DAQ modules that are both lightweight and tough
  • Flexible power options including mains, DC, battery, and PoE (power over Ethernet)
  • Silent, fanless operation ideal for acoustic labs and environmental testing
  • Platform-independent programming interface: LAN-XI Open Application Protocol Interface (API)
  • Interoperability with Fusion-LN for future-proof data acquisition

Ideal applications

  • Electro‑acoustic R&D (speakers, headphones, microphones)
  • Automotive audio and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) component validation
  • Sound and vibration troubleshooting
  • Structural resonance investigations
  • Environmental and durability test labs
  • Field measurements requiring portable excitation and acquisition
