Features

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 synchronisation technology.
  • We have been developing SIRIUS XHS high-speed data acquisition system for the last 6 years and the results are astonishing. We simply love how the technology supersedes even our expectations and lays foundations for the future of data acquisition.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. High dynamic alias-free mode: This mode operates at sampling rates of up to 2 MS/s, acquiring data with a dynamic range of up to 150 dB. It employs an alias-free filter with a bandwidth closely aligned with the Nyquist criterion, making it ideal for frequency domain analysis of signals such as sound and vibration (NVH). This performance closely mirrors that of Sigma-Delta ADCs.

By today’s data acquisition standard, you would need two independent data acquisition devices for the measurements mentioned above. The SIRIUS XHS DAQ systems allow you to select the sampling rate independently per channel. This ensures that all measurements fit your current testing application. All modes are available on one device and can also work in parallel – acquiring two channels at different rates, bandwidths, and dynamic ranges completely synchronous with each other.

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 200 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 100 V. 5 MHz bandwidth. 0.03% accuracy. It offers sensor excitation. This amplifier is perfect for directly connecting 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.

Noise floor, common-mode rejection, and gain and offset drifts at lower sampling rates are comparable to the SIRIUS DualCoreADC amplifiers. SIRIUS XHS amplifiers are perfect for high-speed data acquisition, transient recording, e-mobility measurements, and power analysis, where the highest precision is an absolute necessity.
