MCC 172 IEPE Measurement DAQ HAT for Raspberry Pi® Features • Two IEPE inputs − Two 24-bit, 51.2 kS/s A/D converters (one per channel) − AC coupled at ±5 V − 10-32 and screw terminal connections for OEM support • Synchronous ADC conversions between multiple boards The MCC 172 is a 24-bit DAQ HAT for making sound and vibration measurements from IEPE sensors. The MCC 172 is shown connected to a Raspberry Pi (not included). Overview The MCC 172 is a voltage HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) board designed for use with Raspberry Pi, the most popular single-board computer on the market today. A HAT is an add-on board with a 40W GPIO (general purpose input/output) connector that conforms to the Raspberry Pi HAT specification. The MCC 172 HAT provides two analog inputs for sound or vibration measurements. Up to eight MCC HATs can be stacked onto one Raspberry Pi. • Onboard sample buffers allow high-speed acquisition • External digital trigger input • Stack up to eight MCC HATs onto a single Raspberry Pi Software • MCC DAQ HAT Library; available on GitHub Supported Operating Systems • Linux®/Raspbian Raspberry Pi Interface Multiple HAT Synchronization The MCC 172 header plugs into the 40-pin general purpose I/O (GPIO) connector on a user-supplied Raspberry Pi. The MCC 172 was tested for use with all Raspberry Pi models with the 40-pin GPIO connector. Multiple MCC 172 HATs can be synchronized to a single sampling clock. The clock is programmable for sampling rates between 51.2 kS/s to 200 S/s. HAT Configuration • Single-board: max throughput is 102.4 kS/s (51.2 kS × 2 channels) HAT configuration parameters are stored in an on-board EEPROM that allows the Raspberry Pi to automatically set up the GPIO pins when the HAT is connected. Sample Rates • Stacked boards: max throughput is 307.2 kS/s aggregate1. Digital Trigger Stackable HATs Up to eight MCC HAT boards can be stacked onto a single Raspberry Pi. Users can mix and match MCC HAT models in the stack. Analog Input The two 24-bit differential analog input channels simultaneously acquire data at rates up 51.2 kS/s. Users can turn IEPE excitation current on or off. Each channel has a dedicated A/D converter. Both ADCs share the same clock and are synchronized to start conversions at the same time for synchronous data. The trigger input (terminal TRIG) is used to delay an input scan until a specified condition is met at the trigger input. The trigger input signal may be a 3.3V or 5V TTL or CMOS logic signal. The input condition may be edge or level sensitive, rising or falling edge, or high or low level. This terminal may be used to trigger the start of an acquisition on multiple synchronized MCC 172 HATs. Power Programming API • C, C++, Python OEM Support Users can connect analog input signals to either the 10-32 coaxial inputs or to the screw terminals. Only one source may be connected to a channel at a time. MCC DAQ HAT Library The open-source MCC DAQ HAT Library of commands in C/C++ and Python allows users to develop applications on the Raspberry Pi using Linux. The library is available to download from GitHub. Comprehensive API and hardware documentation is available. The MCC DAQ HAT Library supports operation with multiple MCC DAQ HATs running concurrently. Console-based and user interface (UI) example programs are available for each API. The MCC 172 is powered with 5 V provided by the Raspberry Pi through the GPIO header connector. 1 Dependent on the load on the Raspberry Pi and the SPI interface.

Example programs featuring a user interface are provided in different formats. Examples of each are shown here. Console-Based (C/C++ and Python) The data logger example shows how to acquire data from the MCC 172, display the data on a strip chart, and log the data to a CSV file. This example can be run from the terminal. Data Logger (C/C++) Console-based examples are provided that demonstrate how to perform FFT on a block of data, acquire synchronous data from multiple MCC 172 HATs using shared clock and trigger options, trigger a finite scan, and synchronously acquire data from multiple DAQ HATs. Source code is included. The fft_scan example is shown here. Configure options, plot data on a strip chart, and log data to a file Web Server (Python) The web server example lets users configure acquisition options and view acquired data from a browser window. This example is written for Python (source included).
