Steady-State

Osprey Family

Osprey marks HGL Dynamics first foray into the world of Steady-State Front Ends with three units providing 32 channel rack mount modules for Thermocouple, RTD (PRT) and Bridge SIgnal Conditioning.

Osprey packs a punch with two Sigma-Delta ADCs per channel, a 32-bit for the main signal and a 24-bit for ancillary functions such as Cold Junction measurement for the Thermocouple unit.

All Osprey units includes HGL’s standard interface connections presented on the Hardware Overview page. This means that all Hummingbirds units can connect with and interoperate with any other HGL Modular Front-Ends.

Osprey is presented in 2U Milled Aluminium Hard Anodised Chassis and are ideal for harsh Environmental locations including on Vehicle applications.

Features

32 Channels

Osprey Front Ends are currently all 32 channels modules in the standard 2U chassis

Multiple Conditioning Types

Depending on Signal Conditioning option(s) chosen, Osprey can support Voltage, Bridge (all types), RTD (PRT) and TC each channel.

Multiple Synchronizing Types

Osprey natively supports IRIG A/B, IEEE-1588 (PTPv2) and HGL LVDS for precise synchronisation to < 50nS resolution across entire systems. GPS is optinally available.

Simultaneous Sampling

Osprey supports individual Sigma-Delta ADCs per channel synchronized to better than 10ns across individual units.

Flexible Sample Rates

Osprey supports the following sample rates -1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 ,600, 700, 800, 900 & 1000Hz.

140dB Dynamic Range

Osprey utilises instrumentation grade Sigma-Delta 24-bit ADCs across the range. These provide up to 140dB Dynamic Range and with oversampling rates to 1024x provide superb anti-alias capabilities.

Flexible Power

All Osprey models support DC power from 9 to 36V (automotive ranges) and PoE to 802.3bt (100W) standard.
AC power supplies are supported through a range of external adaptors

Environmentally Sealed

Osprey has been designed to be used in environmentally challenging environments and all models have no exterior openings and are sealed to IP65 (min) standard against fluids including jet fuels, lubricants etc (excluding TC)

Rugged

In addition to the environmental sealing, the Osprey range are intended for use in harsh vibration environments in test cells close to test vehicles and even on test vehicles.

Conduction Cooled

All Osprey models are conduction cooled through innovative internal design and materials.
All models are able to operate accurately from -55 to +80C.

Flexible and Scalable

Every HGL DAQ module in fully interoperable with other DAQ modules and this includes Osprey. Connection of multiple units is simple and quick and allows complex systems up to and above 1000 channels to be realised easily

Osprey Models

Osprey is available in a range of models and signal conditioning options. The most popular units provide the same conditioning for all channels, but HGL Dynamics can provide mixed conditioning models on request.

The table below indicates the Signal Conditioning types in the first column and the types of conditioning supported by that type.
