T Series

#1

Hi,

I've just a short question about the planned Streaming-Operation:

Is this planned to be available for Ethernet, and how will you realize it?

Will there be a separate TCP-Socket, similar to the streaming operation from UE9?

I read that this device will have basic MODBUS-TCP interface (which would mean polling is required), where polling with rates more than a few Hz would be impossible by limited number of TCP-Packages per second.

Yes the T7 streams over USB and Ethernet.  Probably also WiFi, but likely at lower speed and with skipped scans being common.

At the moment we have 2 types of stream on the T7:

    -Auto-response stream:  This is like the UE9, where the stream data is spontaneously sent out a different port.

    -Command-response stream:  In this case the host sends a command to request each read packet, so everything happens on the normal port.

Both are in firmware right now, but a-r stream has not been tested.  We are also working on LJM support for streaming right now, if you don't want to handle it all yourself.

When will the firmware for the T7 support streaming?  How about documentation?  From the web page, it would seem that these are now available for sale, but the state of the web site suggests that they don't have completed firmware yet??

Some features are completed, while others will be added later.  Streaming is in firmware, so can be done, be the LJM driver does not have any special support for stream yet (probably a couple weeks on this).  There is now much more information in the T7 datasheet, but documentation is certainly not complete.  We are shipping limited numbers of T7s to users who just need the features that are currently supported.  See the T7 Support Homepage.

What is meant by "scripting" support for t7-pro?  I have been looking for info on it.  Particularly interested to know whether local control is possible, e.g. for running a PID loop without transfer to/from computer using ADC/DAC.

The T7 will be able to run scripts. Thus allowing operation without being attached to a host computer. A PID loop is one of the features we imagine scripting will be useful for. There is a good chance normal T7s will be able to script, but some functionality such as storage and real-time-clock will be limited.

What is T series?

 

#8

This is our next series of DAQ devices.  First we had the U12, then the UD series (U3, U6, UE9), and now the T series.  The first device is the T7 which is similar to a U6 with Ethernet, and the T7-Pro which is similar to a U6-Pro with Ethernet & WiFi.  The T7 and T7-Pro are expected to be available in about 2 months.

Any update as to when the T7 will be available?

We are close, but still some weeks away.
