Ethernet/LXI digitizers feature 12-bit resolution and up to 4.7 GHz bandwidth
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, […]
PCIe waveform generator card produces up to 20 sine waves
Spectrum Instrumentation has released a new firmware option for its range of versatile 16-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) with sampling rates up to 1.25 GS/s and bandwidths up to 400 MHz. The new option costs $1200 and allows users to define 23 DDS cores per AWG-card, that can be routed to the hardware output channels. […]
High-speed digitizers add pulse generation
After the successful introduction of the Digital Pulse Generator (DPG) option for its medium-speed products, Spectrum Instrumentation has now added the same feature to its ultrafast digitizers (with up to 10 GS/s speed) and Arbitrary Waveform Generators. Available for the entire product line, the low-cost $325 option adds three to four independent digital sources for […]
High-speed digitizer cards perform on-board summation averaging
A new firmware option has been created by Spectrum Instrumentation that allows the company’s high-speed M5i.33xx series of PCIe high-speed digitizers cards to perform on-board summation averaging. Averaging is a useful tool for reducing unwanted signal noise, while at the same time improving measurement resolution, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The new option enables […]
Dual-channel digitizers provide synchronous 3.2 GS/sec, 12-bit sampling on each channel
A new dual-channel digitizer provides synchronous 3.2 GS/sec, 12-bit sampling on each channel. This means no data needs to be lost, even when the card is acquiring data with both channels running at their maximum sampling rate. The ultrafast bus allows all the data to be transferred directly to PC memory for storage, or even […]
Digitizer cards stream data over PCIe bus at 12.8 GB/sec
Two new PCIe Digitizer cards from Spectrum Instrumentation bring next-generation performance to PC-based instrumentation. Using 16-lane, Gen 3, PCIe technology, the cards are capable of streaming acquired data over the bus at a staggering 12.8 GB/sec. That is nearly twice as fast as any other PCIe Digitizer currently on the market. Furthermore, it allows the […]
DIO card completes PCIe instrument family
Spectrum instrumentation’s family of PCIe instrument cards also includes digitizers and waveform generators. Automated test systems often need to generate and measure analog signals. They often need to provide digital I/O for status monitoring and control of test hardware or industrial process equipment. With the addition of the M2p.7515-x4 digital I/O card, Spectrum Instrumentation completes […]
Julia-language SDK handles digitizers, generators, digital I/O products
A Software Development Kit (SDK) for programming over 200 different digitizers, generators and digital I/O products uses the Julia programming language. A key feature of Julia is that it has been specifically designed for high-performance applications that require fast processing of data, like machine learning and scientific computing. For example, libraries include optimized source C […]
PCIe card promotes automated logic analysis and pattern generation
A new digital I/O card from Spectrum Instrumentation offers a cost-effective way to generate and acquire fast digital signals. The model M2p.7515-x4 is a half-length PCIe card that measures just 168×107 mm (6.6×4.2 in) in size and costs $3,750. The tiny form factor means that it can be inserted into almost any desktop PC, turning […]
