Expandable Systems: Up to 512 ChannelsThe Spider-80X & Spider-80Xi Dynamic Measurement SystemsThe Spider-80X is designed for applications in three fields: dynamic data acquisition, vibration control, and machine monitoring. Each front-end features eight analog input channels and two channels that may be software selected as analog outputs for vibration control or tachometer inputs for the analysis of rotating machinery.A single Spider-80X front-end is a complete two output controller with the same high quality patented dual ADC input technology of the Spider-81 series. The Spider-80X inputs provide singleend/differential and AC/DC/IEPE coupling choices; charge mode is an available option that can be installed at the factory. The Spider-80X also provides the same time sync Ethernet connectivity and 4 GB flash memory for data and program storage. Multiple Spider-80X front-ends may be linked together using the Spider-HUB Ethernet switch from Crystal Instruments. The data storage can be increased to 250 GB by adding a Spider-NAS mass storage device.The Spider-80X front-ends are onsite swappable. Each front-end is metal-shielded. The user can quickly configure a system with an arbitrary number of front-ends.
