TR8M

By ZAHNER-Elektrik GmbH & Co.KG

TR8M Transient Recorder TR8M CH0 TREXT CLEXT CH1 The hardware extension module TR8M for the Electrochemical Workstations IM6 and IM6e is optimized for the investigation of fast electrical events which need to be measured with a high time resolution and fixed phases in two channels. A typical application is the investigation of pulse and transient responses. As soon as the module is plugged into the IM system it is detected by the Thales software. When staring the program modules PVI, Pulse or TRC located in the Time Domain menu the programming of the transient recorder is available. In PVI and Pulse the ranges and menus are extended accordingly, in TRC parameters are input directly in the program window. The outlets for connection of the measuring signals, trigger and clock are located on the front panel of the module. On the other hand, the measuring signals may also be the potential and current channels of the IM system. These are connected internally, so that no external con-nections are necessary. For feeding external probes and instrumentation amplifiers the outlets provide a power supply of +-15V / 50mA.
