The AXN/ICP/401 performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on its 12 ICP channels. Both the original sampled data and the results of the FFT analysis are available as output parameters.
Features
- Live FFT analysis performed on each channel with the choice of viewing up to 32 of the largest peaks in the spectrum or the RMS voltage at 8 user selectable frequencies of interest
- 12 single-ended, AC-coupled channels
- Shared signal wire constant current excitation (3.6 mA nom.) suitable for ICP sensors
- High AC accuracy (TBD% FSR typical)
- A short on any channel does not affect others
- 16-bit simultaneous sampling with three configurable output streams on each channel
- TEDS discovery in DAS Studio 3
Applications
- Advanced frequency content analysis for ICP©, Isotron© and Deltatron© sensors
The AXN/CHS/03U is a 3 user-slot Axon chassis, which along with the housing and backplane, includes an isolated 50W power supply for the controller and user modules.
The AXN/ADC/401 is used to condition and digitize up to eight analog channels.
The AXN/ADC/408 is a monitor for 3-phase power lines that supports variable frequency power monitoring.
AXN/ICP/401 Accelerometer ADC with FFT and TEDS support, 12 ch at 25 ksps
The AXN/ICP/401 performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on its 12 ICP channels (25 ksps). Both the original sampled data and the results of the FFT analysis are available as output parameters. You can elect to run each channel in one of two modes - Peaks Detect mode, where up to 32 of the top peaks are returned as frequency/RMS voltage pairs (ordered by RMS voltage) or User Defined Frequencies mode, where the RMS voltage of up to 8 user-programmable fixed frequencies are returned.
At the heart of the AXN/ICP/401 is a hard-wired state-machine that oversamples all channels and digitally filters any noise above the user-programmable cut-off frequency. Note that the FFT is performed on the filtered data.
The filtering is achieved using cascaded, 15-tap FIR filters with output rate decimation, followed by a final FIR or IIR filter. If IIR filtering mode is selected, the last digital filter in the filtering chain is an 8th or 16th order (selectable) Butterworth filter. If FIR mode is selected, the last digital filter in the filtering chain is a 49-tap Kaiser window, Beta 6 filter.
There are three independently configurable output streams per channel. Stream 0 is used for the FFT calculation.
All signals are sampled simultaneously. Thus, when several channels are sampled at different sampling rates, at the start of an acquisition cycle, all channels are aligned. The AXN/ICP/401 is capable of polling TEDS enabled sensors and returning the stored data to DAS Studio.

Aerospace Instrumentation Brochure
Modern aerospace instrumentation systems can be highly complex, and it can be difficult to know how to meet program needs. It’s not unusual for requirements to change during a campaign and cause significant delays, and data must be captured reliably no matter what – otherwise expensive additional flights will be needed or months of program data could be lost. Read our brochure to learn how you can reduce your risk with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions.
