SC Express

Uploaded by

Vivek Reghunathan

The document discusses the SC Express system setup for PXI chassis. The SC Express card provides DAQ and signal conditioning on a single PXI card with front panel connectivity. It offers advantages like accurate repeatable measurements, superior synchronization across multiple chassis, and an expandable hardware and software platform. The card uses a delta sigma ADC for high resolution measurements and FPGA for digital filtering. It provides sensor-specific signal conditioning architectures for improved accuracy.

Advantages of SC Express
1. Accurate Repeatable Measurements
2. Superior Synchronization
3. Expandable Hardware and Software Platform
4. Smaller form Factor – (1 chassis instead of two wrt SCXI)
5. Lesser cost per channel in comparison with SCXI( SCXI had to use
separate DAQ Module)
Benefits of a Delta Sigma ADC
1. Reduction in Quantization Noise
2. Superior Anti Aliasing Filtering
What is Quantization Noise?

SNR = 6.02N + 1.76dB

Benefits of a Delta Sigma ADC
1. Reduction in Quantization Noise
2. Superior Anti-Aliasing Filter
What is Aliasing?

• Misrepresentation of a higher frequency signal in


passband
• Nyquist frequency is 2x the sampling rate
• Aliased signal is indiscernible from desired signals
