SONY® SIR-1000i and W

The Sony® SIR-1000i and W recorders are state-of-the-art AIT recorders for rapid acqui­sition of large amounts of precision data. The Sony
20kHz on 16 to 32 channels and, for high channel counts, is expandable to 128 channels
to 5 kHz. The Sony

®

SIR-1000W is capable of measuring from DC to 160 kHz on up to 4

channels, and is expandable to 16 channels to 40 kHz.
The AIT technology used by the SIR-1000i and W gives a 25 Gbyte tape capacity and

excellent reliability using its real-time, verify-rewrite feature. This reads data from the
tape as it is being written, checking for and writing over any errors. Variable recording
and playback speeds allow recording times of between 2 and 32 hours enabling the
rapid review of long events or slow review of short events if required. The tape’s Table
of Contents with track location information is stored on embedded MIC (memory in
cassette).

Once recorded, the data can be streamed to PULSE using PULSE Interface to Sony
1000 Type7774. The result is seamless integration with PULSE LabShop, as for any other
PUSLSE front-end.

PULSE Interface to Sony® SIR-1000 Type 7774

The common method of playing a tape back through the input terminals of an analyzer
ties up the recorder and requires simultaneous operation of both the analyzer and the
recorder. Also, by the time the data reaches the analyzer, it has been converted from
analog to digital to analog to digital again.

AIT Streamer

PULSE Interface to Sony® SIR­1000 Type 7774 frees up your
data recorder by using a Sony
AIT Streamer type AIT90e– SB,
AIT90i–SB, AIT130e–SB or
AIT130i–SB to interface to
PULSE via a standard SCSI in­terface. The data is stored dig­itally on the AIT tape and read
directly into PULSE from the
streamer. Another option is to
use a Sony

®

Emulation Card
STB10. This plugs into your
SIR-1000 AIT recorder and al­lows it to be used as a stream­er.

Type 7774 provides an interface for controlling the streamer, allowing control of play­back and playback speed. PULSE treats the data as if it comes directly from a data
acquisition front-end and analyses the data as it is being streamed from the tape
streamer.

You can enter information on
the transducers used for meas­urement in PULSE’s transducer
database. You then attach the
appropriate transducers in the
Configuration Organiser before
starting playback. In PULSE, all
you then have to do is choose
the track and number of chan­nels that you want to analyse
and start the analysis. The sys­tem then uses the gain settings
on the tape combined with the
transducer information to pro­vide fully calibrated data. Ana­lysis possibilities include

Overall Level, 1/n-octave, FFT, Order Tracking, Stationary Loudness, all in parallel. See
the Software for PULSE System Data (BU 0229) for details of available software.

Before, during and after analysis, the streamer control provides information of the
current status of the streamer. Status messages include:

❍ Stop: Displayed when the tape is stopped. It occurs after a search, when a

measurement template is deactivated

❍ Play: When a PULSE measurement is started, the Streamer is started and PULSE reads

data from the tape

❍ Pause: Analysis can be paused using the Pause Button
❍ Searching: The streamer is searching the tape for a specified ID or address
❍ Not Found: Displayed if a search fails. A specified ID or address is not on the tape
❍ No Tape: Displayed if the streamer is connected but no tape has been loaded
❍ No Front-end: The AIT streamer cannot be found
❍ Not Ready: The AIT streamer is busy
❍ Medium Err or: Tape read error
❍ Illegal Format: The tape format is not recognised
❍ Tap e Bl ank : No data on the tape

The strengths of this solution are its speed and simplicity of operation as well as the

®

fact that no proprietary hardware is required beyond the Sony

SIR-1000i or W and
tape streamer. The data is read from the streamer, resampled, and played into PULSE
for analysis in one operation, just like performing a standard measurement.

Advantages of using PULSE, along with its analysis capabilities, include its data-export
(for use in various post-processing packages like Operational Modal or Sound Quality)

®

and reporting features. PULSE can report directly in Microsoft

Word using drag and

drop or link directly to Excel. PULSE Bridge to MATLAB fur ther expands the possibilities

®

for post-processing by providing easy export of data into MATLAB
Brüel & Kjær also supplies a range of other accessories that help you get more out of

your Sony

SIR-1000i or W, including the 16-channel DeltaTron® Conditioning Amplifier

FREQUENCY RANGE IS READ FROM THE TAPE

Information about the frequency range is automatically read
from the tape and used to limit the PULSE frequency range

CHANNEL SCALING IS READ FROM THE TAPE

Information about the maximum input voltage is automatically
read from the tape and transferred to the PULSE Channel setting

TIME STAMP IS READ FROM THE TAPE

Supports IRIG –B time stamping via Sony

®

SIR-1000i or W:
Information about the date and time of the recording is
automatically read from the tape and used in spectra

OVERLOAD

When the signal level exceeds the overload level, an overload
is reported to PULSE. This is the case if the input signal exceeds
112% of the input range

PLAYBACK SPEED

The playback speed is adjustable as a percentage of recording
speed. The maximum playback speed depends on following
parameters:

• Installed number Analysis Engines Type 7707

• Speed of the computer

• Number of channels

• Number and type of analyzers

• The maximum AIT streamer playback speed (approximately

130% of real-time for 32 channels and 20kHz)
