Commercial Availability Certification:

I have evaluated the commercial marketplace and determined that all of the salient characteristics documented below are available in products/services offered in the commercial marketplace.

Signature (typed name):

Technical Point of Contact (TPOC)

The Government requires a Portable Data Acquisition System Configuration that meets the following minimum specifications:

1. The Sampling Rate and Resolution shall have:

• Minimum 2,000,000 samples per second (2 MS/s) per channel, simultaneous across all active channels

• Minimum 24-bit analog-to-digital resolution per channel

2. The Analog Input Bandwidth shall have:

• Minimum analog input bandwidth of direct current (DC) to 2 megahertz (MHz)

• Must include a hardware anti-aliasing filter active at or below the Nyquist frequency

• Must support freely programmable digital low-pass and high-pass filters per channel

3. The Multi-Mode Input Flexibility (per channel, without hardware changes) shall:

Each channel must support all of the following measurement modes via software selection:

• Strain gauge bridge: full bridge, half bridge, and quarter bridge; compatible with

120 ohm (Ω), 350 Ω, and 1000 Ω gauges; sensitivity up to 1000 millivolt/Volt (mV/V)

• Voltage: DC and alternating current (AC) voltage input up to ±100 V

• Integrated electronics piezo-electric / integrated circuit piezo-electric

(IEPE/ICP): integrated electronics piezoelectric sensor support (for blast pressure and shock accelerometers)

• Charge input: direct charge measurement (via plug-in signal conditioner)

• Resistance: up to 30 kΩ

• Resistance temperature detector (RTD): resistive temperature device (e.g., Platinum 100 (Pt100), Pt1000, up to Pt2000)

• Thermocouple: standard thermocouple types

• Current: up to ±30 milliamp (mA) via internal shunt

4. Programmable Sensor Excitation shall have:

• Per-channel programmable excitation voltage: 0 to 24 VDC

• Per-channel programmable excitation current: 100 microamp (µA) to 60 mA minimum range

5. Channel Electrical Isolation shall have:

• All measurement channels must be galvanically isolated from each other and from chassis ground

6. Modular, Portable Form Factor shall have:

• System must use a modular architecture in which measurement modules are physically interchangeable within a portable chassis/front-end

• Each front-end unit must accommodate a minimum of two (2) measurement modules

• Each measurement module must provide a minimum of eight (8) isolated channels

• Individual units must be man-portable for field deployment without vehicle support

7. Power Supply Input shall have:

• System must operate from an isolated DC power input in the range of 11 to 32 VDC (vehicle battery or portable battery compatible)

• Must also accept an external AC power adapter for laboratory or fixed-facility use

8. Digital Connectivity and Data Transfer shall have:

• Must support Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) for high-throughput data streaming to a host personal computer (PC) or networked recording system

• Must support universal serial bus (USB) 3.0 as a secondary connectivity option

• Must provide a minimum of two (2) local area network (LAN) ports to enable daisy-chain or networked topologies

9. Multi-Unit Hardware Synchronization shall have:

• System must include a dedicated hardware synchronization bus to allow multiple front-end units to operate phase-coherently

• Synchronization must not rely solely on network-based time protocols

10. Auxiliary Digital Inputs shave have:
