Express-8 – PCI Express-Based Eight-Channel AE Board & System

The Express-8 is a high-speed, 8-channel AE system on a board, based on the PCI-Express bus architecture. By utilizing PCI-Express, the latest standard for PC computer expansion cards, high maximum sustained processing speeds are achieved, with performance maintained even after system expansion.

In addition to its high performance data transfer and processing rates, the Express-8 offers high channel density. At 6.5” long, it is half the size of a full-sized PCI board. This small form factor allows more AE channels to be installed in a single system. In fact, with Physical Acoustics’ Industrial Express chassis, a single AE system can be configured with up to 96 channels inside a single chassis.

The board contains 8 analog parametric input channels with a +/-10V range and 10 kSPS sample rate on all channels. It includes built-in waveforms, waveform streaming and processing, and offers more than 500 selectable digital filters for sharp cutoffs and lower noise. It is compatible with all Physical Acoustics preamplifiers.
