Real-time digital filter with new responses
The KDF-1 is a new real-time digital filter developed by UK manufacturer Kemo in conjunction with UMIST.
Carrier card provides eight channels of filtering
The Kemo CardMaster 8 is a 8-channel filter carrier card that is designed to fit in a PC card slot and can act as a configurable front end in conditioning-monitoring or data-acquisition systems
The single-width (0.8-inch) card can be made to fit any 6U based system, and can be fitted to C-size VXI systems using standard adaptors.
The 8-channel card makes use of Kemo's standard 1600 Series filter modules, which use continuous-time filtering techniques to offer very high analogue performance in a small volume.
Each filter module can be programmed over a 255:1 range, and modules with cutoffs as low as 1 Hz and as high as 255 kHz are available.
Up to 15 slave cards can be linked to a master card to provide a system with up to 128 channels, with independent control of the cutoff frequency and gain of each channel being carried out from the master card.
The cards can be set up for single ended or differential inputs, and ICP supply for transducers is available.
AC/DC coupling is computer controlled.
The master interface is through an RS232 connection and Kemo's FICL control language with Windows driver.
No programming over the VME Bus is necessary, which saves on system overhead and eases integration of the cards into existing systems.
