Signal Supervision

Signal Supervision

Real-time monitoring of signals with high channel count 

Our latest development is the second generation of the Signal SuperVision (SSV) system, based on NI Single-Board RIO (SSV sbRIO). While the first generation is based on NI FlexRIO and PXI systems, SSV sbRIO is more compact, communicates over Ethernet, and offers the same monitoring capabilities. It is used for electrical and performance testing.


Technical Description 

Each card features independent and combinable triggers per channel. Each channel can define up to ten monitoring windows with up to six real-time tests. Each function also stores the number of detected errors until the next query. In the event of an error, a screenshot of all signals around the error location (pre- and post-samples) is temporarily stored until retrieval. 

A user-friendly editor allows for easy editing and testing of channel, trigger, and analysis settings. It also serves as a manual testing interface if needed. Through programming interfaces in LabVIEW, ActiveX, and Microsoft .NET, the system can be seamlessly integrated into almost any application (e.g., NI TestStand, NI LabVIEW, Agilent TestExec SL, VBScript).

Technical Specifications

  • Galvanic Isolation of the inputs 

  • Signal Level up to ±100 V 

  • Resolution: 14 Bit 

  • Number of Analog Measurement Channels: 16 differential and 112 single-ended channels 

  • Sampling Rate: 125 kS/s (configurable up to 1MS/s with reduced channel count) 

  • Test Functions: Average, Upper Limit, Lower Limit, Duty Cycle, Edge Counter, Area Check 

  • Trigger Sources: Channel / Reference / Timer 

  • Waveform Memory: 1.5 seconds 

Application Areas

  • Monitoring the effects of EMI pulses on control devices 

  • Simultaneous measurement of all signals from control devices in production lines 


Due to the high number of channels, real-time processing, and flexible integration, the Signal Supervision Module is a powerful solution for demanding signal analysis and monitoring.
