This unit
The dSPACE DS1104 is a real-time research and development controller board engineered for rapid control prototyping, algorithm development, and real-time simulation. Built around a 250 MHz MPC8240 processor with 64-bit floating-point capability, it combines a master processor with a dedicated 16-bit fixed-point DSP subsystem to deliver deterministic performance across drives, robotics, aerospace, and educational applications.

dSPACE DS1104 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the dSPACE DS1104. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common dSPACE DS1104 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
