On November 8, Spectrum Instruments, the world's leading designer and manufacturer of PC test and measurement equipment, announced the launch of the first digitally designed family of digitizer cards consisting of a new M2P platform that will be PCIe-based in the coming years Of all upcoming products platform.In addition, the new 59 series modules will also become an important part of the new series of digitizers.In order to improve product speed and expand multiple channels, M2p platform board and 59 series modules can be combined into 13 different New digitizer product.
Oliver RoviNI, CTO of Spectrum Instruments, said: "The new series of products can cover signals at frequencies from 1 MHz to 40 MHz and will be at the heart of the new mid-range digitizers, where new products will successfully replace Spectrum instruments The 12, 14 and 16-bit models used in the stage provide customers with a more convenient way to upgrade and technology, which is why new products are used in fields such as ultrasound, laser, lidar, radar, automotive and large-scale physics experiments Have a wide range of applications.
Modular design offers 13 different types of products
The first products in the M2p.59 family offer users sampling rates of 20 MS / s, 40 MS / s and 80 MS / s, plus 1 to 8 channels per card Based on Spectrum's unique modular design concept , We can according to the different needs of users the perfect match 13 different product models.More and more models will be available in 2018.
Although the new product is only half the size of a PCIe card, it offers a wider range of functions, each channel includes a separate ADC, a fully programmable input amplifier in the ± 200mV and ± 10V ranges, Programmable input offset for unipolar signals, programmable input terminals in the range of 50 μM to 1 μM, and a calibration IC that offers up to eight single-ended and four differential channels.
Compact and fast 16 digitizer
The new family of products has been scaled back to 167mm in length, enabling the powerful 16-bit digitizer to fit seamlessly into smaller PC systems with a PCIe x4-channel interface capable of achieving stream speeds of over 600MByte / s or 4-stream continuous stream 75 MS / s or more. Large 1GByte onboard memory capacity to support continuous data storage or fast online computing applications such as multiple recording, door sampling or ABA and other intelligent acquisition mode and fast and slow continuous acquisition of almost all to meet Application requirements.
By using the Spectrum instrument's star-hub technology, internal synchronization of up to 16 digitizers is achieved, so that the system can generate up to 128 channels simultaneously for sampling and triggering. To synchronize with external settings, clock and trigger inputs and outputs Is standardized. For added flexibility, the new product features four independent programmable connectors on the front panel for additional trigger pulse input, status output, simultaneous digital input lines, asynchronous I / O (I / O) device or the reference clock input provided for the integrated timestamp.
Software extension support
The new card is based on the general driver API that Spectrum Instruments introduced in 2006. So far, more than 400 products have been shared with this conventional driver library, which makes it easy to convert slow to fast products using a common software interface And integrated PCIe, PXIe or Ethernet / LXI products. The delivery includes a Windows and Linux based SDK, drivers and mainstream programming language operation case, the user decided to like the programming interface. The current SDK includes C + +, C # , Delphi, VB.NET, J #, Python, Java, LabVIEW, MATLAB and LabWindows / CVI.
All of our products are rigorously tested at the factory and come with SBench6 Basic Edition software for first-time testing and simple testing, and the software's professional license supports all acquisition modes, extensive calculations and product demonstrations, project control and reporting.
Gisela Hassler, Chief Executive Officer, Spectrum Instruments, said: "Spectrum Instruments proudly provides the industry with a five-year warranty with 25 years of German engineering quality and manufacturing processes. In addition, Spectrum Instruments products enjoy free software and firmware updates for life. Good customer service, our technical team is often able to contact customers and solve problems within a few hours of the customer's request. '
