FIFO (streaming) mode for high-speed data transfer to the PC

M3i32xx image

The M3i.48xx series combines a high resolution 16 bit mega sample converter with a carefully designed input amplifier section to give excellent dynamic performance, ultra low internal noise and hence precision results. Each input channel has its own latest generation monolithic A/D converter and amplifier giving synchronous zero phase delay between multiple channels or cards (see Star Hub option below). The extremely large on-board memory allows long period recording even with the highest sampling rates and for even longer captures FIFO mode allows the acquisition of data continuously to the PC for immediate processing and storage.

Features included

10-bit resolution analogue channel trigger.
Dedicated connection for external trigger input, programmable in 1 mV (analogue) steps, or for TTL
