Hardware Specifications
Spider is a highly modular, truly distributed, scalable dynamic measurement system introduced by Crystal Instruments.
It is ideal for a wide range of industries including machine condition monitoring, automotive, aviation, aerospace,
electronics and military. The Spider-80X excels in industries that demands easy, quick and accurate data recording,
and real-time signal processing.
Hardware
The Spider hardware is state of the art, with best in class performance, and flexible enough to meet all your needs. The
Spider-80X module with BNC connectors is a small package designed for dynamic signal measurement and remote
monitoring.
Multiple Spider modules can be combined to form a single high channel system. The Spider system can be arranged
with various Spider modules and network switches to form different configurations. With multiple Spider-80X units, a
Spider system can have up to 64 input channels, all sampled simultaneously. Even higher channel systems are possible.
Multiple Spider modules are accurately synchronized through the IEEE 1588v2 protocol, making sure all measurement
channels are on the same time base. Accurate time synchronization results in excellent phase match in the frequency
domain between all channels, either on the same Spider module or across different modules. Channel phase match,
even between separate Spider modules, is within 1.0 degree at 20 kHz which is suitable for high quality structural and
acoustics applications requiring cross channel measurement.
Spider-80X modules have voltage, IEPE, and optional charge inputs, which are ideal for shock, vibration, acoustic, or
general purpose voltage measurements. Each Spider-80X module is equipped with 8 input channels and can accurately
measure and record both dynamic and static signals. The mass flash memory can record 8 channels of streaming signals
simultaneously up to 102.4 kHz while simultaneously computing real-time time and frequency based functions. Two
output channels provide various signal output waveforms that are synchronized with the input sampling rate.
The Spider-80X modules can be controlled by a host PC or run in Black Box mode where a preprogrammed schedule is
uploaded to the unit and started manually or based on event triggers. The ability to use any module in Black Box mode
or in a distributed network system means that the user can place modules close to the measurement object, minimizing
cable length and decreasing setup time.
The Black Box mode allows one Spider module to run without a PC. After the Black Box engine is installed, the project
file can be executed with a predefined schedule. Data can be saved periodically or based on events. In Black Box mode,
the Spider can be activated and controlled by the Run/Stop buttons on the front panel or using an iPad that is
connected wirelessly. Run schedule can be defined by the user and interact with Event-Action Rules.
Performance
The Spider performance is the best in class with the highest dynamic range of any similar product. With patented
technology, Spider-80X achieves 130 dB input dynamic range (defined in the time domain). Each measurement channel
can detect signals as small as 6 V and as large as 20 V. Proprietary hardware technology delivers more than 130 dB
dynamic range. The extremely high dynamic range eliminates the need for multiple front-end gain settings.
A high-speed floating point DSP manages the data input/output and real-time processing. Spider-80X is also configured
with RAM and onboard flash memory for mass data storage. Special thermal and low power design eliminates the need
for a cooling fan.

One Spider module can be directly connected to a PC or to a LAN network through Ethernet. No switch is needed. The
PC is used as a control and monitoring terminal via the EDM software.
Multiple Spider modules can be connected to make a high channel count system. Multiple switches, such as the SpiderHUB, can be used in cascade to extend the number of modules. The PC is used as a control and monitoring terminal via
the EDM software.
This is the same as Configuration 1 except that the PC is not required during run time. A PC is required to install the
Spider Black Box engine to the Spider module so it can run without a PC. The PC is only used to configure the Spider and
download data files.

Test Management
Tests are managed through a MySQL or MS SQL Server database. Signal files, test setup, and UUT (machine)
information are stored in the database. User can search the previous tests using keywords, time, or date
information.
A Spider system consists of one or more Spider modules. The user constructs the system by combining Spider
modules on the same LAN. The software validates and displays hardware attributes of each Spider module.
Administrator can edit access privileges of other users. Each Spider has its own access control code to prevent
unauthorized access.
Location ID: labels the physical point of UUTs or machines. Location ID is used to name signals.
Level Display: bar graph displays the input level of each channel with 4 grids. Automatic IEPE sensor detection.
Sensitivity: user-defined with engineering unit and input sensitivity setting
Input Types: AC/DC/IEPE coupling and differential or single-ended input type
Built-in Integration and Double Integration: when acceleration is selected as the measurement physical quantity,
digital integration or double integration can be applied to obtain velocity or displacement quantity. When
velocity is selected as the measurement quantity, digital integration can be applied to obtain displacement.
The engineering units after integration or double integration can be set for each channel.
Digital High-Pass Filter: user-defined cutoff frequency
Self-Test
Verifies the condition of the input and output channels using a precise internal signal source. Test validates that the
input channels are within manufacturers tolerances.
