Adelaide firm expands USB measurement

Formally known as Fiberbyte, the Adelaide-based technology innovation company has been re-launched as ChronoLogic Pty Ltd to more accurately reflect its position as a company providing precision timing systems in a universal distributed platform.

The company will continue to develop its USB-inSync technology that uses the plug-n-play distributed nature of USB to reduce the cost of precision timing infrastructure and offer customisable solutions for instrumentation applications.

USB-inSync is a platform that offers the synchronous and deterministic accuracy of rack-based systems such as PXI but in a distributed, PC-based format. The company has transformed the USB into a synchronous instrumentation bus capable of synchronously triggering and controlling over 100 devices.

The relaunch comes with an expanded product range that now includes: master timing hubs that allow users to expand their test and measurement or automation set-up while maintaining accuracy and synchronisation; universal timing devices — USB devices that allow users to design and perform an unlimited range of synchronous timing, triggering and controlling applications. Available with either BNC or RJ45 connectors; data acquisition — the DAQ-2500X, a truly multifunction, 16-bit USB module with fast sampling rates; signal conditioning units — Sonda signal conditional units allow users to synchronise distributed I/O over a 100 m radius to within 2.5 ns; software provides flexibility and easy control.
