Alligator Technologies Releases USBPGF-S1

By DE Editors

Alligator Technologies has introduced the USBPGF-S1, a USB controlled single-channel programmable signal conditioning instrumentation amplifier and low pass filter.

Configurable to a variety of applications, the USBPGF-S1 is available in a range of filter characteristics. Each USBPGF-S1 can configure itself from power-up with  changeable, but non-volatile configuration, and can operate independently in both a “turn-key” or host computer controlled scenario.  The new module is compatible with all 12, 16, or 24-bit A/D devices, according to the company. It is designed for filtering applications in sound and vibration testing, ultrasonics, acoustics, structural analysis, industrial, test, scientific, and laboratory data collection. It is also suited to applied mechanical applications in electronics, aerospace, field research, automotive, and process control industries.

The USBPGF-S1 provides the user with the ability to mix and match filter characteristics, independently select and program each module’s coupling (AC or DC), corner frequency, and gain steps up to x1000 in either single-ended or differential measurements.  Multiple USBPGF-S1 modules can operate on the same USB bus. Once configured, the USBPGF-S1 can operate without the USB connection for turn-key applications.

The SystemViewUSBPGF-S1 software package includes an application that allows the user to quickly program all of the USBPGF-S1 parameters. Configurations are automatically saved and recalled for fast setup and execution.
