HDL-0108-RSCPT: Rapid-Scan 8-Channel Hardware
Key Benefits DLITE-style waveforms to keep data processing across all systems and platforms more uniform. Everything you need to integrate into your software and data work flow. Functional demo firmware[s] (there are two firmware targets on the board) for both out of the box functionality and templates for customization. See below. Functional demo desktop App …

XD Conn IFace: DL0100A1 Coax-to-Alternative-Connection Module
This prototype module connects to the DLITE-0100A1 (DL0100A1) board to allow you to wire transducers to the board using direct tinned bare wire connection to screw terminal blocks, or even cables terminated in RJ45 plugs (two are required to connect to the 8 channels). [This article stub is in progress – please inquire directly about …

IF2C: G(XN)-Hosted Continuous Acquisition
What about using the DL0102G/XN (the “G” and “GXN”) with or without the IF2C in Continuous Acquisition mode in your UT software? In Brief: Yes.
IF2C: Rapid Scan?
In Brief: The solid state solution is good for rapid scan. As shipped and by design (use-case: low power, long intervals between readings), the communications overhead would make the channel-change scan rate very slow. With a few tiny and easy firmware revisions on the host you could probably speed that up for immediate experimentation.
IF2C: Communications Options
When Hosting the IF2C with a DL0102G/XN, the communications options include the standard DLITE Family comms options, except for a modification to the USB-Serial connectivity. Tested USB Demo R&D Option With the IF2C/G/XN stack, you have the option, for R&D purposes and ease of swapping testing rigs, measuring current, etc., to power from a battery …
IF2C: Command Set, API, Code Examples
There are two (2) APIs of interest here: API for the DL-Host that talks to the IF2C, for example the DL0102GXN as a host, as provided in sample firmware. This is covered here. API for the IF2C accessory itself. A simple communications example is here.
(H)DL/DLITE Family Communications Options
Examples include: LoRaWan, Cellular, Bluetooth, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), 900MHz long range mesh, 2.4GHz dense mesh, wirelessHART implemented on 802.15.4 modules, WiFi, Ethernet 10/100, point-to-point, PTMP, USB-Serial…
DLITE/DL/IF2C/G(XN) Family: Configuration Options
Examples of configurations: Very low power, solar/battery, SD-card data storage UT NDT applications: Stand-alone cellular/satellite self-reporting station Synchronized sleeping mesh network node Embedded “pingable” Bluetooth or short-range RF LoRa node
