Overview

External KX Project tracker

3458A footprint, 2U 19" rackmount chassis with front-panel. Aluminum or steel frame, aluminum front panel.
Noritake 256x64 dot-matrix graphics VFD
LTZ1000A isothermal voltage reference (maybe two), target - 1ppm/year max
Integrating multislope ADC in CPLD + LTC2442 ADC for residual charge measurement.
8 1/2 resolution (will see about accuracy)
LTC2756 DAC
Front and rear therminals (6 wire)
DC Voltage measurement: 2mV, 20mV, 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200VDC ranges.
DC Voltage source: 2mV, 20mV, 200mV, 2V, 20V ranges.
DC Current measurement: 20uA, 200uA, 2mA, 20mA, 200mA.
DC Current source: 20uA, 200uA, 2mA, 20mA, 200mA.
2W ohms, 200, 2k, 20k, 200k, 2M, 20M, 200M, 2G ranges
4W ohms, 2, 20, 200, 2k, 20k, 200k, 2M, 20M, 200M ranges
6W ohms, 2, 20, 200, 2k, 20k, 200k, 2M, 20M ranges
Temperature measurements: RTD, -200°C to +1000°C, Thermocouples T,K -200°C to +1000°C
Simple AC measurement features, up to 400VAC (prolly base on AD637JR as TRMS converter)
PASS/FAIL Function
Ratio measurement function
Configurable buzzer
Digital inputs/outputs (8bit + 8bit)
Digital side: NXP Cortex MCU, ALTERA FPGA.
USB, RS232, Bluetooth interfaces. Maybe Ethernet, but that's for sure last-last option.
100W linear power supply (25W display, 30W analog stuff, 25-30W heaters, 15W for anything else)
Fanless
4-layer PCBs
Extensive internal monitoring (temperature sensors, voltage sensors)
Maybe battery option for voltage references (to keep them hot at least 24-48 hours during transportation for example)
Software support - LabView on host PC.
Low-noise mode (noisy devices switched off, remote controls only?)
