Unparalleled Analysis Capability Your productivity depends on getting the results you need, so Synergy includes a wide range of analysis and data reduction tools. Unlike lower performance PC solutions which rely solely on the PC to perform block-oriented calculations after an acquisition, we put a powerful array of DSPs directly in the data stream to enable real-time cycle-by-cycle measurements and on-the-fly data reduction. High-speed streaming data is analyzed at the full sample rate with results stored as new virtual channels or reduced to just the statistics of interest. No matter your application, Synergy excels at delivering the answers, not just the data.

Interactive Analysis The most common and useful measurements don’t even require a trip to the Analysis screen. At a single keystroke, the maximum and minimum points of your waveforms are located and measured. At the touch of an icon, a Waveform Calculator instantly pops up statistics for all channels on screen such as Max, Min, RMS and Frequency. The waveforms and numeric measurements can be copied or dragged into Excel or any other Windows program. When your analysis needs become more complicated, choose from over 100 built-in math functions including arithmetic, statistics, trigonometry, calculus, spectral and timing. Select the waveforms of interest, your measurement and the region to analyze, and a new trace or numeric result appears. Synergy even remembers each operation for repeat at a keystroke. All post-process math routines are coded in tightly optimized C+ for lightning-fast operations even on multi-megasample arrays. With a click of the Auto-Repeat button, any sequence you perform once will be automatically updated every time you acquire new data.

Full Custom Analysis For even more demanding applications, Synergy includes a full macro editor based on the open-source Python language. In addition to full control of Synergy setup, acquisition and analysis functions, Python can communicate with any other Windows applications and hardware. For example, the results of a specialized and complex calculation may be sent directly to an Excel spreadsheet, a NotePad log file, or even an analog output. Up to five user programs can be attached to buttons in the Synergy control panel for instant keystroke access.

Real-Time Analysis All Synergy modules include a DSP in the data stream to provide virtual Math Channels, intelligent triggering and selectable digital filtering in real-time during recording. Not only can you record traces of True-RMS and Frequency of every channel, you can set a Trigger or Alarm output if any reading goes too high or too low, all with no need for cumbersome external dongles or expensive signal conditioners.

Test Cell Integration An automated test cell typically includes a variety of instrumentation and signal generation. Synergy is equally at home as a DAQ resource in a cell environment, accepting remote commands and data transfers from a test controller over Ethernet. The controller might be a Windows PC running LabVIEW, a Mac or a Linux machine; the only requirement is an Ethernet port.

Synergy Application Pack Hi-Techniques has already created several software extensions for specialized applications. Our Power Analyzer package provides single-phase and three-phase power analysis, with true power, apparent power, harmonic analysis and other common measurements. With isolated input modules up to 1000 Vdc and 600 Vac, Synergy replaces a data recorder, an oscilloscope and a multi-phase power analyzer in one portable system. Our REVelation internal combustion analyzer (ICA) package offers Pressure-Volume analysis for any type of piston engine from weed whackers to cargo ships. In the drive for fuel efficiency and optimal power, REVelation’s ability to measure the power contribution of each cylinder in real time is indispensable.
