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.
