It includes battery management, and multiple wireless radio comms and sleep \/ wake options. 35 MHz sample rate. Design-optimized for production and low cost at volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;RS8&#8221; (HDL-0108-RSCPT) is a USB, high data rate, rapid channel scan instrument, with real-time control that does not interrupt data flow during scanning. Transmit gain (pulse voltage) is controllable in smaller steps and more linearly. Standard operations include single channel PAC, 8-channel single sweep, continuous single channel, continuous 8-channel sweep. 40 MHz sample rate default. Configuration options include custom channel scans and high sample rate (up to 100 MHz or more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type II = Combinatorial for stationary applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Default\/OTS\/As-Shipped Info<\/td><td>RS8<\/td><td>RS104<\/td><td>DL0100A1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Use-Case Example<\/td><td>bench or non-I\/S scans + R&amp;D<\/td><td>I\/S scanner &#8211; match legacy # XD channels<\/td><td>long-term remote low power monitoring<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Channels<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WFs\/sec<\/td><td>128 (16 Hz each channel \/ full channel set)<\/td><td>~36 (9 Hz each channel \/ full channel set)<\/td><td>~1 (0.13 Hz single channel)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WF Sample Rate [MHz]<\/td><td>40<\/td><td>40<\/td><td>35<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WF Length (# samples)<\/td><td>4095<\/td><td>4095<\/td><td>2500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Comms Interface<\/td><td>USB<\/td><td>RS485&lt;=&gt;USB<\/td><td>Anything serializable: Cellular, Bluetooth, Serial, USB-Serial, Radio like 802.15.4 incl LoRa, ZigBee, etc<\/td><\/tr><tr><td># comms channels\/ports<\/td><td>2: data (async 245 style FIFO) | control (serial)<\/td><td>2: both RS485: <\/td><td>1: single<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>control baud nominal<\/td><td>57600<\/td><td>57600<\/td><td>57600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>data baud max or nominal<\/td><td>5-6Mbps nom.<\/td><td>2Mbps nom. for 350-ft cable<\/td><td>1-2+ Mbps max direct USB serial, 230k max radio or GW<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>data rate<\/td><td>4-5 Mbps<\/td><td>1.2+ Mbps<\/td><td>80% of baud rate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cabling\/Wiring<\/td><td>USB<\/td><td>4x STP: 1 PR Power, 1 PR Ground, 1 PR Control, 1 PR Data<\/td><td>Wireless \/ depends on comm choice<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pulse Characteristics<br>(See Note 1 below)<\/td><td>(Type I)<\/td><td>(Type I)<\/td><td>(Type II) Combinatorial<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Power Mgmt<\/td><td>Always on<\/td><td>By host I\/S system typically<\/td><td>Inherent multi-option low power \/ power control auto, incl synch and or RTC sleep\/wake<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Power<\/td><td>USB only or external 5-6VDC<\/td><td>15VDC nominal, supplied by I\/S supply typically<\/td><td>6VDC nominal, Power-over-Ethernet<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Please note: Many customizations of behavior are possible, either through firmware updates or assembly variants, or even hardware revisions.
