PCIE Digitizer M4i.4471-x8 16bit 180MS/s 4-channel 125 MHz
A digitizer is an electronic acquisition device that acquires analog waveforms, processes them through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and sends the digitized samples to a buffer zone where they are stored before being processed by a computer. Waveform digitizers are plug-in cards for PCs or industrial PCs that are used to measure continuous voltage signals as well as rapid signal changes such as voltage transients. For this reason they are also known as transient recorders.
Based on the PCIe bus, HONGKE Digitizer products are divided into 2 series according to the different PCIe interface forms:
- M2p Series: PCI Express x4 Interface
- M4i Series: PCI Express x8 Interface
Description
I. Product Introduction
The M4i.44xx-x8 Express series is designed for fast and high quality data acquisition. Each input channel has its own A/D converter and its own programmable input amplifier. This allows simultaneous recording of signals at 14- or 16-bit resolution on all channels without any phase delay between them. Even running at 500 MS/s, the card uses only one A/D converter, ensuring optimal signal quality without any interleaving techniques. The large on-board memory allows long recording times even at the highest sampling rates.
Product Characteristics
- 180 MS/s on 4 channels
- Export control free version
- Simultaneously sampling on all channels
- Separate ADC and amplifier per channel
- Up to 3 synchronous digital channels with multi-purpose I/O
- 2 GSample on-board memory as standard
- 6 input ranges: +/-200 mV up to +/-10 V
- Window, re-arm, OR/AND trigger
- Synchronization of up to 8 cards
- PCI Express x8 Gen2 Interface
- Works with x8/x16 PCIe Gen1 to Gen3 slots
- Sustained streaming speed card to PC up to 3.4 GB/s
- Sustained streaming speed PC to card up to 2.8 GB/s
- Direct data transfer to / from CUDA GPU using SCAPP
