New IM2 Interface and Controller Module for Genesis HighSpeed Data Acquisition Systems

The new IM2 interface and controller Module replaces the existing IM1 module in all Genesis HighSpeed data acquisition systems (GEN2i, GEN5i, GEN7t, GEN16t).

All Genesis HighSpeed data acquisition units are always equipped with an interface/controller module. The new Perception Version 6.20 will support this new IM2 module.

Customers with an existing Genesis HighSpeed data acquisition unit can use the "IM2 Upgrade Kit" to replace the IM1 interface/controller unit.

The advantages of the IM2 module are:

• Streaming rate per mainframe to an appropriate PC is 100 MB/s. The "Fast streaming" option is now always on-board. In a GEN2i and GEN5i the streaming rate is 50 MB/s
• An on-board SATA Solid State Disk (SSD) can be installed as an option. The SSD does not occupy the XMC/PMC slot, and therefore offers the possibility of maximizing on-board storage together with IRIG/GPS-Card option
• IM2 offers an optional optical Ethernet interface (850 or 1310 nm) specially for long distances between Genesis HighSpeed mainframes and control PC. Furthermore this option eliminates possible ground loops by isolation of the GEN DAQ system and the control PC
• For synchronized recordings with GEN2i, IM2 comes with the required Master/Slave connector. This feature allows synchronizing two GEN2i systems.
