M3i.21xx: 8 bit PCI / PCI-X / PCI-Express
transient recorder with up to 1 GS/s
 |
| Our fastest A/D converter board ! |
| Latest generation of monolithic A/D converters |
| Up to 1G Samples/sec on one channel |
| Up to 500M Samples/sec on two channels |
| Simultaneous sampling on all channels |
6 input ranges from ±50 mV to ±10V
 |
| Input can be offset up to ±100 % for improved resolution |
| Versatile recording trigger options, including auto re-arm |

| Up to 2 GSample (4 GByte) memory |
| FIFO (streaming) mode for high-speed data transfer to the PC |
|
| The M3i.21xx series 8-bit digitiser provides an ultra high-speed 1 Giga sample
per second capture - the fastest in the Spectrum range of industrial grade
PC instrument cards. Each input channel has its own latest generation
monolithic A/D converter and amplifier giving synchronous zero phase delay between
multiple channels or further cards within a system (see Star Hub option below).
The highly configurable amplifier stage consists of eight ranges to make good
use of the available conversion resolution, whilst selecting the 50-ohm terminated
path provides a bandwidth of up to 500 MHz. In addition each channel has a
programmable AC/DC coupling and a selectable low pass anti-aliasing filter to
optimise noise figures. The large standard on-board memory of 256 Mbytes can be
substituted with up to 4Gbytes to maximise capture time if so desired. |
