This is a modification 1 to the synopsis entitled 32 channel High Speed, Wide Bandwidth, Data Acquisition System which was posted on March 15,2016. You are notified that the following changes are made:

 The purpose of this amendment is to answer the question below:

Question 1:

I would like to know the type of sensors used and voltage and current limits as well as hardware temperature specs.

Answer 1:

Sensors will be of various type, configuration and manufacture. The immediate anticipated type will primarily be ICP type Shock

Accelerometers, as well as full bridge type Accelerometers. I'm sure we will get creative in the other ways we can use the proposed system to meet test requirements and configurations.

Hardware operational environment will be limited from 0 to 30 Deg Celsius.

Hardware Input voltages will be limited to +/- 10 millivolts to +/- 5 volts.
Excitation current will be as required.

The due date for responses is not extended.
