Controllers and Digital Input

HEADlab labCTRL II.1

labCTRL II.1: Second generation HEADlab controller for data concentration and synchronization with HEADlink 2.0

The powerful HEADlab controller labCTRL II.1 concentrates and synchronizes the data of the input and playback modules, supplies them with voltage and establishes the connection to the Windows PC, from which the HEADlab system can be conveniently configured and controlled. The enhanced HEADlink 2.0 data protocol offers twice the data rate of its predecessor. Thus, significantly higher sampling rates or channel numbers can be achieved.

labCTRL II.1 also offers other valuable innovations, such as native CAN FD support, as well as synchronization of multiple systems via GPS or LAN (PTP). A possibility for stand-alone recording (SAR) without a connected PC is given via the separate extension module labSAR I.0.

HEADlab labDX

labDX: Digital input module with CAN FD, FlexRay, HMS and pulse interfaces

labDX is a digital module with the following inputs: 2x CAN FD (labDX from version B) /CAN/OBD-II, 1 x FlexRay, 2x pulse inputs and an interface for a HMS III- or HMS IV-generation artificial head or for connecting a GPS receiver. The configurable pulse inputs facilitate a high maximum pulse rate.

labV12-O4 II is an all-in-one-module of the second HEADlab generation for structural dynamic examinations. It combines all features of a 4-channel output module for shaker excitations with those of a 12-channel data acquisition module in a rugged and compact housing, enabling a structure to be excited with 4 shakers and the responses to be measured simultaneously.

HEADlab labV24 II

labV24 II: 24-channel voltage/ICP® input module of the 2nd HEADlab generation for applications with high channel numbers

Due to its high channel density, labV24 II is optimally suited for system configurations with high channel numbers. Thanks to the support of the HEADlink 2.0 trans­mission protocol, this input module of­fers double the sampling rate with the same number of channels compared to HEADlink 1.0. In combination with the controller of the 2nd HEADlab generation labCTRL II.1, labV24 II achieves a maximum sampling rate of 204.8 kHz per channel.
