PCI Digitizer Line Adds More Functionality

October 7th, 2008

Agilent Technologies has expanded its U1071A line of Acqiris two-channel, high-speed PCI digitizers. The product line now includes new models that offer additional functionality that can be combined with the series’ large memory capacity of up to 256 MSamples, making the digitizers ideal for use in a wider range of applications, including automated test equipment for production test and validation.

The new 200 MHz (U1071A-004) version features a sampling rate of up to 1 GS/s as well as a multimodule synchronization option, which can be used to create tailored, high-performance systems. When more than two data-acquisition channels are required, up to three digitizers can be synchronized using the 2 GHz auto-synchronization bus. This distributes both the clock and trigger signals among the digitizers in the system. It allows any digitizer to generate the trigger, while the central digitizer acts as the common synchronous clock source. With up to six synchronous acquisition channels, applications requiring high-speed measurement around 3D space, or 3-phase electricity can now be integrated into a single desktop PC.
