Ultra fast arbitrary waveform generators

The Spectrum M2i cards provide exceptional performance for applications such as telecommunications, radar, and ultrasonics... in fact just about any application that requires high speed arbitrary waveforms in the MHz range. All of the Spectrum 60xx & 61xx series waveform generator (D/A) boards listed below will provide your choice of analogue output waveform at 8 or 14 bit resolutions, with versions capable of attaining up to 125M Samples/second updates. Output gain is software adjustable up to +/-3V into 50 Ohm load, but this can be extended to +/-10V if required when the amplifier board option is used and the load is 1 M Ohm (+/-5V at 50 Ohm). Asynchronous digital I/O may be added for instrument control too. The 60xx/61xx series has the ability to generate synchronous signals from 1, 2 or 4 channels either from up to 4GByte on-board memory, PC RAM or the hard drive directly allowing very large waveform files to be run. Access real time from the PC is by using Spectrums special "FIFO mode". More information on all features can be found in the on-line datasheets accessed from the links below. All Spectrum boards(A/D, D/A and Digital I/O) can be clock and trigger synchronised to work together. These M2i boards are recommended for all new applications but also a software compatibility layer is provided for existing users who have programs developed for the earlier Mi series. M2i are available in dual format PCI/PCI-X or PCI-Express.

Up to 4 GBytes of on-board memory, 256 MBytes memory as standard! PCI-X interface allows more than 200MB/s sustained data rate to PC* Also 100% compatible to PCI 32 bit slots Now available for the latest generation PCI-Express PC bus interface Up to 4 simultaneous channels on one card Synchronisation of up to 16 cards Triggers: programmable for edge, level and pulsewidth, AND and OR combinations Optimised clock section, internal or external clock reference Programmable trigger to first sample delay Multiple Recording/Gated Sampling with pre-trigger, post-trigger, low rearm time and time stamp Versatile and wide ranging software support   *PCI-X currently provides best streaming performance, typical range 170 to 220MByte/sec.

This extensive list of cPCI and PXI cards provides industrial users with all the performance and resolution, but in a particularly modular and robust format. PXI is also notable by the fact that synchronisation and triggering wiring is neatly wired across a back plane of a chassis.
