Precision PF-1UA-FA
High Performance 8 or 16-Channel
Filter/Amplifier Systems
The PF-1UA-FA High Performance Multi-Channel
Programmable Filter/Amplifier System is ideal for conditioning low-level
voltage in front of high-resolution digital data acquisition systems.
Fully programmable compact 8-channel and 16-channel
configuration are available; offering a choice of either 4 or 8-pole flat
or pulse low-pass filters. The low-pass filters may operate in either a
“flat” mode for maximally flat pass-band amplitude response with sharp
roll-off or in a “pulse” mode for low phase distortion and optimized
transient response.
Programmable pre- and post-filter amplifiers provide
an overall gain of 8,192. Gain is distributed both before and after the
filter to provide protection from large out-of-band energy or transients
that could cause clipping before the filter, distorting the data.
The PF-1UA-FA also features a test input
for injection of calibration signals into the channel input and a
monitor output that allows for convenient monitoring of any channel
output via a single BNC.
The system includes an Ethernet remote interface and
is supplied with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for local control.

Filter Characteristics
The PF-1UA-FA
System has a variety of high-performance filter characteristics
available for Low-Pass, High-Pass and Band-Pass Precision filtering.
A choice of 4-pole and 8-pole low-pass filters provide versatility to
address application in either the time or frequency domain.

Operating the PF-1UA-FA
For local control the PF-1UA-FA system is controlled
via an Ethernet interface using the supplied spreadsheet-style GUI
application running on a Windows PC. The GUI supports control of all
channel and system features and allows for group control of channels. Up
to eight PF-1UA-FA systems can be controlled by one GUI. System settings
are restored on power-up or after a power fault. The settings are
retained when the computer is disconnected even after a power-down and
up. This allows the unit to be pre-configured for an application in
which a computer may not be available for control.
The PF-1UA-FA system may be controlled remotely via an
interactive command line interpreter that allows the PF-1UA-FA to
function as a server on the network.
