New instruments combine multi-channel AWG and digitizer
The hybridNETBOX instrumentation platform covers applications that require simultaneous signal generation and acquisition. Six models are available offering the choice of two, four or eight pairs of matched AWG and digitizer channels, with output- and sampling-rates of 40, 80 and 125 Megasamples/sec. Prices start from $12,930. With their ability to create and acquire electronic signals […]
Fast PCIe digitizers get additional digital inputs
A new digital input option, M4i.44xx-DigSMA, for PCIe digitizers consists of an additional module that sits beside the existing digitizer card to provide eight additional digital input lines. The digital input module shares a common clock and trigger with the base card so both the digital and analog inputs are fully synchronous. This makes the […]
LXI-digitizers get additional I/O lines for mixed-mode testing
LXI/Ethernet-digitizers now have a mixed-mode testing option featuring eight analog input channels that synchronously sample signals at rates up to 5 MS/sec, 20 MS/sec, 40 MS/sec or 125 MS/sec with 16-bit resolution. The new option adds eight digital lines to the three multipurpose I/O lines that come as standard with each unit, increasing the number […]
Digitizers tackle fast acoustical and mechatronics applications
Eleven new digitizer products are specifically intended for the capture and analysis of electronic signals in the dc to 2 MHz frequency range. Offering signal acquisition at rates from 1 kS/sec to 5 MS/sec and with 16-bit resolution, the products can be used in almost any application where sensors convert a mechanical property (such as […]
AWGs deliver 24-output swings on up to eight channels
Four new models of the generatorNETBOX family have output swings of up to 24 V on up to eight channels to cover demanding test applications. The new units use the latest 16-bit digital-analog-converters and offer two different speed ranges: The DN2.657 models output waveforms at rates up to 125 MS/sec while the DN2.654 units have […]
PCIe AWGs output ±6 V into 50 ohms
New M2p.65 xx series PCIe cards generate waveforms with amplitude swings of up to ±12 V into 1 MΩ or ±6 V into 50 Ω. To achieve the higher output voltage ranges, the cards have been fitted with additional amplification and larger cooling plates. This makes the cards a little wider, so they occupy two […]
AWGs provide 24 to 48 channels of 60-MHz signals
Designed for engineers and scientists who need to simultaneously generate multiple electronic test signals, Spectrum Instrumentation’s latest line of Arbitrary Waveform Generators offers 24 to 48 synchronous channels in a single rack-unit with an economic cost-per-channel. The eight different variants achieve full remote control through a simple Ethernet connection to any PC or local area […]
Portable AWG allows signal-generation for up to 16 channels
A new line of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) is based on the LXI instrumentation standard and has been created for engineers and scientists that need to simultaneously generate up to 16 precise electronic signals. Small and compact, the units are candidates for automated testing or remote-control type applications. With six new instruments being released, users […]
PCIe-cards provide 80 synchronized AWG-channels in one PC
A single PCIe card carries eight AWB channels and measures just 168 mm in length. The addition of the two new 8-channel-cards to Spectrum’s latest “65” series of PCIe Arbitrary waveform generators means that, using Spectrum’s Star-Hub, up to 80 channels can be fully synchronized in a single PC. As standard, all cards of the […]
