Sword: Deployment Options

Sword is offered in two pre-configured channel layouts. The cRIO architecture requires a uniquely configured FPGA (field programmable gate array) program for each module complement. Therefore, we can offer pre-defined configurations, or create custom layouts to meet your specific needs. Sword users can interchangeably select from their available layouts and rearrange modules accordingly.

 Contact us for detailed hardware pricing and we will put a package deal together including the Sword software, National Instruments hardware, sensor package, training, and engineering services if applicable. If your needs are not met by one of our pre-defined channel configurations, let us know and we will discuss the options and level of effort required to ideally meet your requirements.

NVH configuration featuring 16 dynamic inputs, 6 digital inputs (counters) and 2 CAN ports

Vehicle dynamics and Brake testing configuration featuring 12 thermocouples, 4 strain gages, 16 Differential or 32 Single ended analog inputs, 6 digital inputs (counters) and 2 CAN ports

Note that these units accept DC power from 12V to 30 V
