| CN0582 or the USB 3.0 Based Multi-Channel Test Platform for Vibration Sensors is a system board capable of reading data from analog (IEPE) accelerometers. The analog IEPE inputs also contain current source switches to accommodate sensors that might need external power and individual channel offset voltage setting.\\ | CN0582 or the USB 3.0 Quad-Channel IEPE Vibration Sensor Measurement System is a system board capable of reading data from analog (IEPE) accelerometers.
