DCS1000 Data Collection System

System Components
The Tektronix DCS1000 Data Collection System is a family of instruments and
software designed to work together.
Component Descriptions
Components of the DCS1000 are described below.
H The VX4244 Digitizer Module provides 16 channels of 16-bit differential
input, analog-to-digital conversion data, and sampling up to 800 kHz. If the
VX4780 is not part of the configuration, the VX4244 uses the VX1746
(input) and the optional VX1658P (I/O) cables.
H The VX4780 Signal Conditioner is a 16-channel signal conditioning module
that accepts the signals of sixteen transducers, amplifies and filters the
signals. It then outputs the results to the VX4244 Digitizer Module. It uses
the VX1744, VX1745 and the optional VX1658P (I/O) cables.
H The VX4570 Mass Storage Controller Module provides an interface between
the VXIbus and the mass storage device (SCSI hard drive). The VX4570
will be a VXI Commander; it moves data from its data collector Servants
(one or two VX4244 Modules) to shared memory in the VX4570 and then
on to the mass storage device. The VX4570 is also the commander of the
VX4780 modules associated with the VX4244s under its control.
DCS1000 Data Collection System
H The System Management Control Software (SMCS), which runs in a
Windows environment, resides on the host controller of the system.
VXIplug&play drivers are included in the SMCS. The plug&play drivers are
optimized for operation as part of an overall system, and differ from the
individual module drivers. With the SMCS, the user controls the VX4570 as
a tool for test scenarios, causing it to program its servants, start an acquisition process, and record data from its servants to disk media.
H The DCS1000 uses a 4 Gbyte (VX4GBD) hard drive with a SCSI-2 cable.
H The mainframe for the DCS1000 can be either the VX1406 6-slot or any
VXI mainframe with adequate power and cooling capacity (such as the
Tektronix VX1410 or VX1411).
H The MXI2PCI (PCIbus) Slot 0 module uses one slot in the card cage. It
allows you to daisy chain multiple card cages.
Refer to the individual component user manuals for more information on
individual DCS1000 components.
