The GY-DAQ-2480-E is a network interface-based DAS full-demodulation acquisition card featuring dual-channel 250 MSps synchronous trigger sampling.As a network interface DAS high-speed data acquisition card, it communicates with the host computer via Gigabit Ethernet or 10G optical ports. Utilising large-capacity data buffering and high-speed data transmission engine technology, it supports real-time uploading of raw and demodulated data. Data transfer rates reach up to 1000Mb/s, with optical port sampling transmission achieving 10Gb/s.The acquisition card employs a dual-channel 14-bit high-speed ADC with a sampling rate of 250 MSps, supporting DAS data acquisition over distances exceeding 100 kilometres.Featuring an integrated phase demodulation algorithm, it can directly upload amplitude-phase demodulated data. The phase data may be utilised directly by users as vibration signals without further demodulation processing, enabling full-cable demodulation. Alternatively, raw sampled data may be uploaded for user-conducted demodulation.
Compared to conventional IQ demodulation acquisition cards, this acquisition card incorporates an integrated phase demodulation algorithm module. This enables coherent fading suppression and global demodulation, significantly enhancing the accuracy and stability of the demodulated signal. It lays the foundation for subsequent signal processing and recognition. This eliminates the need for users to perform untwisting operations after acquiring data, reduces the system's CPU computational demands, and substantially lowers development complexity. It enables straightforward operation where data is ready for use upon reading, with phase directly representing vibration.
