Data Acquisition Card for Distributed Acoustic Fiber Sensing (DAS) with Pulse Output sends TTL pulses directly to the AOM driver, eliminating the need for an additional pulse generator and greatly reducing system complexity.
GY-DAQ-2480 as a DAS dedicated high-speed data acquisition card, using PCIe interface to communicate with the host computer, on-board high-performance FPGA chip, with rich multiplier and RAM resources. By adopting large-capacity data cache and high-speed data transmission engine technology, it supports real-time upload of original data, and the data transmission rate can reach 2.2GB/s. The acquisition card adopts dual-channel 14-bit high-speed ADC with sampling rate of 250MSps and supports DAS data acquisition of more than 100 km. Built-in phase demodulation algorithm, can directly upload amplitude phase demodulation data, phase data can be directly used by users as vibration signals, without demodulation processing again, to achieve full cable demodulation;or upload the original sampling data for users to demodulate. The driver has good compatibility, supports multiple versions of Windows and Linux, supports cross-platform use, and facilitates user integration.
Compared with the traditional IQ demodulation acquisition card, the acquisition card has a built-in phase demodulation algorithm module, which realizes coherent fading suppression and global demodulation, greatly improves the accuracy and stability of demodulated signals, and lays a foundation for subsequent signal processing and identification. It avoids the user still need to unwrap the operation after getting the data, reduces the system's requirements for CPU computing power, and also greatly reduces the user's development difficulty, realizing the simple operation of data reading and phase vibration.

GY-DAQ-2480 has built-in IQ demodulation and coherent fading suppression functions, suitable for DAS systems with balanced detectors. It supports both single-channel IQ demodulation and dual-channel IQ demodulation to realize real-time demodulation of all optical cables. Phase data is vibration data (audio data). The maximum number of upload points per pulse trigger is 32768, so the maximum monitoring distance under different resolution rates is:
0.4m:0.4*32768=13107.2m
0.8m:0.8*32768=26214.4m
1.6m:1.6*32768=52428.8m
3.2m:3.2*32768=104857.6m
In order to reduce the amount of uploaded data and obtain a larger monitoring distance, it is suggested that the sampling resolution should be more than 1.6m.
We provide the API in the form of a dynamic link library (.dll file) that you can call in your favorite programming language (e.g. python, C++, java or libview). Here is a description of the 2 more important functions.
