The GEN3t is a portable and rack mountable transient recorder and data acquisition system. The standard 1 Gbit
Ethernet interface supports streaming recorded data directly to the PC at 100 MByte/s. A 10 Gbit electrical or optical
Ethernet option is available for higher streaming rates of 400 MB/s. The optional 1 or 10 Gbit Optical Ethernet allows
for isolated control of the mainframe and cable lengths of up to 10 km (6.2 mi).
When a more reliable or distributed storage of recorded data is required, GEN3t supports an optional built
-
in non
-
removable Solid State Drive or it can store recorded data directly on an external Network Attached Storage (NAS)
device.
To synchronize the absolute time to other systems, GEN3t supports the PTP protocol on both 1 Gbit/s Ethernet ports.
Full transparent time and trigger synchronization on multiple GEN DAQ systems can be done using the standard
optical Master/Slave synchronization connector.
For legacy or industrial systems the GEN3t optionally supports IRIG A & B or GPS based time synchronization.
The GEN3t is configured and controlled using Perception software purchased separately and running on a user
provided PC. This combination results in a sophisticated instrument for ultra
-
fast recording, analysis and reporting.
