The 12-bit converter is a popular choice as it gives good signal resolution and here it is combined with a high-speed A/D converter choice of 250 or 500 Mega samples per second, one dedicated to each channel for perfect cross-channel phase. The wide bandwidth input section, like the others in the M3i range has a software enabled 20MHz anti-aliasing filter and a pair of digital inputs that can be sampled simultaneously with the analogue channels. This versatility extends to the option of a multi-purpose digital I/O section that may be added for asynchronous control or status monitoring of external equipment. Can be also combined with other Spectrum cards (e.g. waveform generators) via the Star-Hub option, to provide even greater flexibility to suit many applications.
