Spectrum Instrumentation has introduced seven new digitizers in the DN2.33x series for signal acquisition and analysis in the GHz range. The devices connect via Ethernet/LXI interface to computers or networks and are designed for both R&D and industrial applications.
The DN2.33x series digitizers utilize ADC technology with sampling rates between 3.2 GS/s and 10 GS/s, providing 12-bit vertical resolution across bandwidths ranging from 1 GHz to 4.7 GHz. The series includes single and dual-channel variants.
Each channel features independent ADC and front-end signal conditioning with calibrated gain and offset. Input ranges are programmable from ±200 mV to ±2.5 V. In dual-channel models, ADCs are clocked synchronously to minimize phase errors and enable precise cross-channel measurements.
Standard memory configuration includes 2 GSamples (4 GB) of acquisition memory, with an optional upgrade to 8 GSamples (16 GB). The digitizers support multiple acquisition modes, including Transient capture, Multiple Recording, and optional Block Averaging.
Front panel connections include ports for external clock and trigger signals, plus multi-purpose lines that can function as Asynchronous Digital Inputs/Outputs, Synchronous Digital Inputs, Trigger, Clock Outputs, or Run and Arm status flags. An optional high-speed Digital Pulse Generator is available.
The digitizers weigh less than 7 kilograms and can be used as standalone units or mounted in standard 19-inch racks with available rackmount kits.
Software control is managed through the included SBench 6 Professional software for acquisition, display, processing, analysis, storage, and documentation. For custom applications, software development kits are available for programming in C++, Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW.
Spectrum Instrumentation provides a 5-year warranty on the DN2.33x series, with software and firmware updates included throughout the product lifetime. The company typically maintains service and spare parts availability for 15 to 20 years.
