ADwin data acquisition systems for rotating machines support parallel, individually controlled, real-time processes, while running independently of the PC's operating system, and provide deterministic execution of real-time processes with response times of 1 µs or less for high-speed acquisition and detailed analysis. Real-time, angular-based functions include complex trigger applications and on-line analysis of data, statistics, vibration, harmonics, etc. Control functions include open- and-closed-loop and signal/waveform generation.
