PXIe-based multi-channel data acquisition system of soft X-ray camera

Abstract

Soft X-ray cameras will be widely used in the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) diagnostic system. To acquire their output data to display the signal changes on a computer, a PXIe (PCI Express eXtensions for Instrumentation)-based multi-channel data acquisition system for a soft X-ray camera has been designed and is presented in this paper. The Xilinx FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) chip Kintex7-325T-900-2 is adopted as a controller in this system. The hardware's composition and the PXIe bus transmission of this system are presented and discussed. The acquisition and transmission of the soft X-ray camera's multi-channel data has been accomplished with subsequent processing. Currently, this system can collect signals within 1 MHz, and the system's signal resolution has achieved 0.122 mV.

A soft battery-free piezoelectric sensing platform toward pressure monitoring on shoes in football training

“…From the work of Ref. 18, the linear relation between velocity v of the ball, maximum pressure P, and output signal voltage has be proved [17]. Here, it is noted that a higher output voltage is measured, a more intense pressure P, and a higher velocity of football would be.…”

“…Because of their wide use in everyday life, these devices need to maintain both comfortable for human-machine interaction and precise acquisition of individual data. The soft piezoelectric energy harvesting system based on PVDF thin film can be used to address this problem [17,18]. Since the first standard energy harvesting circuit was proposed, the energy harvesting system has addressed a lot of attention in the last two decades [19,20].…”

A self-power flexible piezoelectric sensing system for badminton training monitoring

“…Even though the hard contact sensing towards table tennis training has been reported by Tian et al [18]. It is desirable to develop a more agile especially soft sensing system for other racquet sports, such as badminton [19,20]. From the interface circuits' perspective, the kinetic energy generated by the impact of ball hitting can also be harvested and used as the energy source to realize a self-powered monitoring system [21,22], which can minimize the size of the whole system and get rid of the conventional battery solutions.…”

Multi-Channel Data Acquisition Card under New Acquisition and Transmission Architecture of High Frequency Ground Wave Radar

“…With the development of electronic technology, data acquisition and processing system has been widely used in the fields of radar, optical fiber, telecommunications, sonar, and satellite remote sensing [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Reference [ 1 ] introduces a new data acquisition method, which realizes the acquisition of SCS (Symmetry Chirp Signal) signal in LEO Satellite Internet of things.…”

“…In order to multi-channel image data that can be collected at the same time, a multi-channel data acquisition system based on Ethernet transmission is proposed [ 3 ]. A PXIe (PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Express extensions for Instrumentation)-based multi-channel data acquisition system for a soft X-ray camera has been designed and is presented in [ 4 ]. Reference [ 5 ] designs the data acquisition system using ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architectures based on the application requirements of off-line multi-channel vibration acquisition and analysis system.…”
