| Strategic Test Announces PCI Express Waveform Digitizers Strategic Test has announced the availability of the world's first PCI Express based Waveform Digitizer boards. There are twelve new Digitizer cards in the UF2e-4600 series. Using multiple 16-bit ADC's for true simultaneous sampling, the cards are available with a choice of maximum sampling rates from 200 kS/s to 3 MS/s and 2-, 4- or 8-channel configurations. 32 MSamples of signal memory is provided standard, but can be expanded to 2 GSamples through a proprietary onboard DIMM module. As with all UltraFast cards the signals can be recorded to card memory and then off loaded, or continuously streamed gap-free to the PC host. In total, eight different hardware options will be available for each card: - Onboard memory: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 MegaBytes; - Multiple Recording (memory segmentation); - Gated Sampling (sampling clock controlled by external TTL signal); - Time Stamp (records time when trigger occurs); - ABA dual time base; - Star Hub (synchronization of up to 5 or 16 cards, or 5 to 16 PC's); - BaseXIO (adds 8 asynchronous digital I/O lines); - Fast Digital Inputs (adds 2 or 4 synchronous digital inputs per analog input). Strategic Test also provides the industry's most comprehensive software support with the following Software Development Kit's available: Windows Vista and XP64, XP, 2000, NT and 98; Linux drivers for RedHat, Suse, Fedora and Debian; MATLAB; LabVIEW; Agilent-VEE; LabWindows/CVI; DASYLab. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
