Clock-Box

Frame-synchronous triggering of our sensors

The Clock-Box is an electronics unit which serves the purpose to provide high-accuracy frame-synchronization of our measurement systems, such as wire-mesh sensors, needle probes or high-speed video cameras. Therefore the Clock-Box provides a common digital base clock with up to five different frequencies, which run even after hours 100% synchronous. The system can be controlled by a Windows® PC via a USB interface and started both by hardware trigger or software trigger. Beside continuous operation also a burst-mode operation for user-defined intermittent data acquisition is implemented.

Technical data:

Connection of up to five different sensors (e.g. HZDRI wire-mesh sensors, HZDRI needle probes, high-speed video cameras)

Separately selectable frequencies, duty cycles and trigger polarities for each channel via Windows® control software

Software trigger and isolated hardware trigger

Isolated relay output
