Sampling Rate (hardware suggestion)

What type of high speed sampling hardware do you recommend, that is 150,000 to 300,000 samples per second?

The apparatus that we intend on using will hold seven (7) voltage pickup brushes riding on the commutator across the profile of a brush. We will reference these signals to the pigtail of a particular brush in that arm to get the brush potential profile for a particular brush.

Greetings,

Are you needing to acquire each signal at 150kS/s-300kS/s (1.05MS/s-2.1MS/s aggregate rate) or are you needing an aggregate sampling rate for all 7 channels of 150kS/s-300kS/s (21.4kS/s-42.9kS/s per channel)?

If you are needing 150kS/s-300kS/s for each channel, then you will probably need two analog input devices. We have analog input devices that can acquire 5 MS/s per channel (PCI-6110) but it only has 4 analog input channels. So, two NI 6110s would give you 8 analog input channels that can acquire at 5 MS/s per channel.

If you are only needing an aggregate sampling rate for all 7 channels of 150kS/s-300kS/s (21.4kS/s-42.9kS/s per channel), then we have multiple devices that would work. For instance, the NI 6052E is a 16-bit, 16 channel analog
input device that can acquire at 333 kS/s (47.6 kS/s per channel for 7 channels) and the NI 6070E is a 12-bit device, 16 channel analog input device that can acquire at 1.25 MS/s (178.6 kS/s per channel for 7 channels).

I've linked the devices below that I've referenced so you can take a look at them. Let me know if you have any additional questions about any of this.

Also consider the PCI-6143 http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=13677〈=US
