SR-9000 Pulser/Receiver Plug-In Card

The SR-9000 Pulser/Receiver Card is a unique qpproach to ultrasonic material testing instrumentation. This proven member of Matec's "Instrument-on-a-Card" series is a completely self-contained ultrasonic sike pulser and broadband receiver capable of impressive performance.

SR-9000 at a glance:

• IBM Expansion Bus Compatible
• 300 Volt Spike Output
• Extremely Fast Pulser Rise Time
• Selectable Receiver Bandwidth
• All Functions Computer Controlled
• Includes Control Software
• Complete PC-based Ultrasonic System

Easy Installation

The Pulser/Receiver Card installs in the expansion bus of any 100% IBM compatible computer. The unipolar spike pulser provides a voltage output of over 300V with an extremely fast rise time. The user selectable lower ouput level has even better rise time. Damping is provided by 16 computer controlled selections from 25 to 500 Ohms.

Broadband Receiver

The broadband receiver of the SR-9000 offers 63.5dB of computer addressable gain. The receiver gain is addressable in 0.5dB steps. The Receiver’s selectable badnwidth (factory set) of 25, 50 and 100MHz provides improved signal to noise ratio and improved near-surface resolution.

Rectification and Filters

The SR-9000 comes complete with fullwave, positive and negative halfwave rectification. Computer selectable lowpass and highpass filters are also available to optimize your ultrasonic test.

Configurable Base Address

Thanks to its Configurable Base Address capability, configuring each SR-9000 installed in the expansion bus of the computer with a unique base address makes it easy to create multiple channel systems.

Utility Software

The SR-9000 package includes its own utility software written in the C programming language, allowing the user to control all parameters with an easy-to-use mouse-driven pulldown menu interface.

MUIS32 Software

The SR-9000 fits into any full-size expansion slot and can be used to create an ultrasonic test system when configured with a digitizer and Matec’s Windows-based MUIS32 Software. The easy-to-learn, easy-to-use MUIS32 software provides the user with capability of measuring both Time of Flight and Attenuation as well as perform FFT Spectral Analysis right on the computer screen. Storage and recall of wave-forms is simple.
