SIRIUS XHS is a high-speed data acquisition system (15 MS/s) with the new HybridADC signal conditioning technology capable of high-bandwidth transient recording and very high-dynamic, alias-free data acquisition. 
 
The familiar data acquisition system with a completely redesigned brain
The new SIRIUS XHS looks the same on the outside, but on the inside, it is a completely new beast. Everything is new and designed from scratch to face the future of high-speed data acquisition systems:
 
New brake-through HybridADC signal conditioning technology.
New amplifiers that follow the capability of the new HybridADC technology.
A new, much more powerful FPGA with an ARM processor running onboard Linux OS.
Better galvanic isolation technology for channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation.
USB3 type C and Gigabit LAN data interfaces support huge data sampling speeds.
PTPv2 synchronization technology.
 
HybridADC signal conditioning technology
Which ADC converter is better? SAR ADC or Delta-sigma ADC? Well, now it doesn't matter anymore. SIRIUS XHS data acquisition systems introduce Hybrid ADC signal conditioning technology. HybridADC offers the best of both worlds. It allows users to select modes of operation for each analog input channel:
 
High bandwidth mode: This mode offers an extremely high bandwidth of 5 MHz and a 15 MS/s sampling rate. SIRIUS XHS instruments can perfectly acquire impulse, step, and square signals without any ringing or overshooting. Such a mode is perfect for transient recording and applications such as power analysis. Such acquisition mode is typically found in SAR ADCs.
High dynamic alias-free mode: This mode is used with sampling rates up to 1 MS/s. The data is acquired with a dynamic range of up to 150 dB. The alias-free filter with a bandwidth close to the Nyquist criteria is used for frequency domain analysis of signals like sound and vibration (NVH). This behavior is very similar to Sigma-Delta ADCs.
 
High-end signal conditioning amplifiers
The SIRIUS XHS provides several amplifiers that utilize our new HybridADC technology. The input channel configuration can be freely configured with one of the following signal amplifiers: 
 
XHS-HV: Highly isolated CATII 1000V amplifier. Measure in a range of 20 V to 2000 V peak directly. 5 MHz bandwidth. 0.03% accuracy. This amplifier is perfect for the direct connection of high-voltage signals.
XHS-LV: Highly isolated voltage input amplifier. Measure in a range of 0.05 V to 100V. 5 MHz bandwidth. 0.03% accuracy. It offers sensor excitation. This amplifier is perfect for a direct connection of low voltage signals and current transducers.
XHS-ACC: Highly isolated IEPE/ICP and voltage input amplifier. Offers 2 mA - 20 mA IEPE excitation current. Offers TEDS support and high-temperature stability.
 
SuperCounters®: precise speed and angle measurement with counter and encoder sensors
Dewesoft data acquisition systems utilize a patented and registered trademark technology called SuperCounter®.
 
SIRIUS® XHS digital counter inputs
As highlighted earlier, the SIRIUS® XHS data acquisition systems boast Dewesoft's cutting-edge SUPERCOUNTER® technology across all eight counter inputs. The counter inputs are available for all SIRIUS® XHS instruments, providing users with enhanced counter/encoder input capability.
 
PTP synchronization
SIRIUS® XHS instruments utilize Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronization. The Precision Time Protocol is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network.
 
Channel-to-channel galvanic isolation
SIRIUS DAQ devices offer high galvanic channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation (±1000 V). The DAQ systems even offer isolated sensor excitation.
 
With such isolation, we have no problem measuring high voltage potentials and no problem with common-mode voltages. We are also safe with measurements like vibrations, temperatures, or any other measurement where non-isolated sensors are placed next to the high voltage potential against the DAQ system ground. 
 
Intuitive and easy to use
Using Dewesoft data acquisition systems does not require any complex configuration setups or programming knowledge. We also kept this in mind when designing SIRIUS® XHS.
 
Plug-and-play technology with smart sensors and advanced TEDS is supported by default. This makes performing measurements with the Dewesoft DAQ systems easier than riding a bike. You will be ready to measure in no time. 
 
Great connectivity with open and standard data protocols
SIRIUS® XHS has two ways of transmitting the data to the PC:
 
Ethernet interface (GLAN): perfect for distributed data acquisition.
USB 3.0 (Type C connector): perfect for very high-speed data acquisition.
 
In today’s world of open toolchains and intercommunication, devices should be compliant with standard protocols. SIRIUS® XHS can serve acquired data via these protocols, all in parallel to storing data on a PC running DewesoftX software.
 
Expand channel count and distribute measurement
SIRIUS® XHS slices can be used as a stand-alone DAQ device or stacked and daisy-chained together into a larger channel count system. Stacking systems together is made simple with easy click-mechanism.
 
Next-Gen power and power quality analyzer
The SIRIUS® XHS is a high-speed data acquisition system that can acquire voltage and current signals at speeds up to 15 MS/s and 5 MHz bandwidth. This makes it a perfect power analyzer and power quality analyzer device with the highest precision possible.
 
SIRIUS® XHS-PWR with integrated DC-CT current transducer
The SIRIUS® XHS-PWR is a high-speed DAQ device, specially designed for direct in-vehicle measurement of current, voltage, and power in the E-Mobility market. An integrated and patented DC-CT current transducer offers very precise current measurement for the most demanding applications such as high current peak detection and current leakage measurement.
