This webcast will evaluate the non-banner specifications of waveform digitizers. The discussion will include looking beyond the specification sheet’s usual banner listings into such topics as bandwidth, sampling rate, bit resolution and memory depth. A host of performance criteria will be taken into account to determine the actual measurement fidelity the digitizer system can be given. . . . → Read More: Agilent to Host Digitizer Performance Webcast

The Agilent Technologies L4532A 2-channel and L4534A 4-channel digitizers are high-performance, stand-alone LXI digitizers that offer simultaneous sampling at up to 20 MS/s, and with 16-bit resolution. Agilent claims that these products represent a new category of digitizers with their robust input channel and high performance analog-to-digital (A/D) design, and on-board measurements. The isolated input . . . → Read More: High-Resolution LXI Digitizers Stand Alone
