IC2 is pleased to announce the launch of DAQSync, an effective and affordable solution designed to provide high-accuracy, GPS-disciplined clock alignment for devices, or collections of devices, that require precise timing.
DAQSync ensures that your clock sources are synchronized with an accuracy better than ±50 ns.
Time-Aligned Trigger Pulse Wirelessly Synchronizes Devices
Data time alignment is critically important for data sets to properly analyze data from multiple devices simultaneously. As such, DAQSync offers a GPS time-synchronized clock signal at either 10 MHz or 11.2896 MHz depending on your application and features an error correction loop which adjusts output frequency and phase to ensure GPS alignment.
This system is designed to generate timing pulses that are tightly aligned with the GPS time, providing a highly accurate time reference across devices anywhere in the world. Trigger all sensors in a network to take measurements at the exact same moment, reducing discrepancies caused by time lags or drifts. This ensures that all ADCs in a system are sampling at the same time, which is crucial for applications where precise time alignment is required, such as in high-speed data acquisition systems. This feature greatly enhances the accuracy and reliability of the data collected, making it a highly desirable feature in many industries.
DAQSync is built for both battery power operation and line power operation and is controlled through a virtual serial connection using an interface, such as PuTTY, to provide control and command instruction sets to the device.
Key Features of DAQSync
GPS-Disciplined Oscillator
DAQSync includes a GPS-disciplined oscillator that ensures the clock sources of multiple devices are synchronized to within ±50 ns of each other. This high level of accuracy is crucial for applications that demand precise timing.
Versatile Outputs
The device generates a clock signal, a user-settable clock/PPS signal, a user-settable alarm pulse, and a user-settable wave/wavelet. All outputs are 3.3 V and can be fed into multiple instruments using branched connectors, making it a versatile tool for various applications.
Synchronizing Multiple Devices with Ease
DAQSync enables wireless synchronization of clock signals for multiple devices over any distance. This feature is particularly beneficial for setups where wired connections are impractical or impossible.
Specialized Model for Audio/Visual Alignment
For audio/visual alignment applications, an 11.2896 MHz model is available. This model ensures that audio and visual signals are tightly synchronized, enhancing the quality of multimedia productions.
Why DAQSync Matters
Whether you are working in scientific research, industrial automation, or multimedia production, DAQSync ensures that your devices are tightly synchronized, enabling accurate data analysis and improved performance.
DAQSync is a powerful tool for anyone who requires precise timing and clock alignment. Its high accuracy, versatile outputs, and wireless synchronization capabilities make it an essential addition to any setup that demands reliable timing solutions.
