Hybrid ADC technology built into the all-new SIRIUS XHS data acquisition system combines the best capabilities of SAR and delta-sigma ADCs into a single unit. It also vastly increases the sample rate per channel from the typical 200 kS/sec for delta-sigma and 1 MS/sec for SAR to 15 MS/sec. Using SIRIUS XHS with its Hybrid […]

Fast PCIe digitizers get additional digital inputs
A new digital input option, M4i.44xx-DigSMA, for PCIe digitizers consists of an additional module that sits beside the existing digitizer card to provide eight additional digital input lines. The digital input module shares a common clock and trigger with the base card so both the digital and analog inputs are fully synchronous. This makes the […]
Capabilities of modern data recorders
Fast sampling rates and long recording times make data recorders useful for documenting signal qualities that ordinary test equipment can easily miss. Jamie Pederson | B&K Precision Corp. Data recording instruments have a long history that dates back to the 1800s when Charles Babbage incorporated an instrument into a rail car to record over a […]
Eight-channel input module handles bridge, current, voltage, and IEPE measurements
The IBIV-8 module for Daxus DXS-100 and SmartCorder DDX-100 data acquisition systems incorporates internal bridge completion, shunt calibration, and support for the most common bridge resistance values, making the IBIV-8 a candidate for bridge-based sensors and strain measurements. The IBIV-8 also offers unparalleled flexibility allowing users to perform a variety of measurements in a single […]
LXI-digitizers get additional I/O lines for mixed-mode testing
LXI/Ethernet-digitizers now have a mixed-mode testing option featuring eight analog input channels that synchronously sample signals at rates up to 5 MS/sec, 20 MS/sec, 40 MS/sec or 125 MS/sec with 16-bit resolution. The new option adds eight digital lines to the three multipurpose I/O lines that come as standard with each unit, increasing the number […]
Wideband I/Q data recorder enables field-to-lab tests with midrange equipment
The R&S IQW100 brings signals from the real world into the laboratory to simulate real-world test environments, used in combination with selected midrange R&S signal analyzers and generators. The R&S IQW100 supports recording and replaying signals with bandwidths up to 200 MHz and sampling rates up to 250 MS/sec. For the many worldwide users of […]
