19'' rack-mountable data acquisition (DAQ) system with integrated standard PC computer components and high-end SIRIUS® signal conditioning cards. SIRIUS R3 allows simple and inexpensive upgrades of PC components such as CPU, memory, and storage space.
 
SIRIUS® signal conditioning technology
Data acquisition systems are built around our world-class SIRIUS® signal conditioning technology and offer the same top-performing technologies:
 
DualCoreADC® technology: high-dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
SuperCounter® technology: high-speed synchronized angle and speed measurement.
Galvanic isolation: channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation for best signal quality and safety.
 
Note: galvanic isolation does not apply to SIRIUS mini and MINITAURs instruments.
 
Easy and Inexpensive to Upgrade
R3 data acquisition system is built into standard PC computer component chassis and allows for simple DIY upgrades of standard, off the shelf PC components and even SIRIUS DAQ slices. 
 
CPU, memory, graphic card, hard drive, or even SIRIUS DAQ slices can be simply exchanged and upgraded.
 
19'' Rack Mountable
R3 can be easily mounted into 19-inch rack cabinet. The aluminium chassis includes handles with screws or easy slide-in mechanism.
 
Input Amplifiers for Every Sensor
SIRIUS offers a range of different signal amplifiers for almost every signal type and connection of practically any type of sensor. SIRIUS slices are available in two versions:
 
Galvanically isolated version with 1000V galvanic channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation.
Differential version with differential inputs and isolated power supply.
 
Standard or Customized Front-End Configuration
SIRIUS slices are available with 8 or 16 channels per slice. Standard front-end configurations are available or you can freely customize each of the eight available channel slots from the list of available amplifiers. With some amplifiers, you can choose several connector types. At your request, we can develop a custom connector type. Please contact us to discuss that option.
 
Available signal amplifiers
SIRIUS® data acquisition systems offer different signal conditioning amplifiers grouped into three main amplifier families.
 
DualCoreADC® amplifiers
High-density (HD) amplifiers
High-speed (HS) amplifiers
 
IEPE Sensor Check
SIRIUS ACC and Charge signal amplifiers for IEPE sensors are equipped with a LED ring around the input connector for visual feedback that tells if the sensors are connected correctly. When an IEPE sensor is connected, the amplifier will constantly check the current flow to the sensor and will turn the LED bright green or bright red, depending on, if the sensor's impedance is okay.
 
With this LED indicator you have immediate visual feedback if all your IEPE sensors such as accelerometers or microphones are working and are wired correctly. This is just another small but very useful detail that makes your life as a test engineer a little bit easier.
 
CAN and CAN FD interface
SIRIUS® signal conditioning slices are equipped with one CAN/CAN FD port for analyzing CAN bus data. Additionally, we provide a CAN-only SIRIUS® module that fits 9 CAN ports into one SIRIUS® module.
 
CAN interface supports transmitting and receiving CAN 2.0b data at a full speed of 1 Mbit/s. CAN FD interface supports high-speed CAN interface with data rates up to 8 Mbps. They are also compatible and allow decoding of J1939, J1587, and OBD II on CAN data as well.
 
All CAN channels are isolated for worry-free CAN acquisition in noisy environments and for maximum signal quality.
 
SIRIUS® CAN interface adds the possibility to:
 
Capture and synchronize CAN bus data with your analog inputs.
Advanced CAN recording, storing, and analysis.
Online monitoring and decoding of CAN messages.
Offline CAN message decoding.
Visual display for displaying CAN data.
Online and offline math analysis of CAN channels.
CAN DBC file import and export.
OBDII on CAN, J1939, and XCP/CCP support.
CAN transmit.
