Central Recording and Processing Unit

The xWave digital accelerometer is shaped around a proprietary embedded platform that integrates high-performance ADCs, low‑noise MEMS accelerometers, advanced time synchronization, and robust communication. Also, depending on the digital accelerometer model, it can incorporate a 20, 24, or 32‑bit ADC, providing dynamic ranges up to 160 dB. Additionally, multiple sensor options are available depending on your project requirements or budget restrictions. Practically, you can choose from cost‑effective to ultra‑sensitive accelerometers with sub‑µg noise levels.
Accordingly, each xWave digital accelerometer unit can operate as a standalone accelerograph with local SD/eMMC recording or as a node in a multi‑sensor daisy‑chain SHM network. Besides that, it streams real‑time data directly to the Voyager® central acquisition software. The central data acquisition and processing unit, xPlorer, or a cloud environment, can host the Voyager.
Additionally, the embedded web server enables direct configuration, firmware updates, and data downloads on the digital accelerometer. On the other side, its rugged IP67 aluminum enclosure ensures reliable operation in any environment. Generally speaking, you can use the xWave digital accelerometer for condition monitoring from remote mountain dams to coastal bridges and urban high‑rises. On top of that, the xWave can also act as a wireless accelerometer.
