Abstract
This chapter is to introduce a new generation of acoustic emission (AE) system based on the latest industrial PCI Express bus standard. Since an AE system based on standard computer bus has advantages in speed, compactness, scalability, customizability, connectivity, chassis selectivity, data storage capacity, and integrity with computer operating system and hard disk within one chassis, it is the most popular type of acoustic emission system used in worldwide AE field now. As the latest PCI Express bus has become de facto standard configuration of industrial PC supplied to customers, there is a great demand for an AE system that can take the advantages of the PCI Express bus and be compatible to latest industrial computers in the market. As such Mistras Group Inc. has developed a new generation AE system, named Express8, based on PCI Express bus to accommodate the technology evolution and application needs. This chapter describes design architecture and advanced features associated with the newly developed system.
