Capture Fast Analog Signals with Very Fast Repeating Triggers

Now You Can Capture Imaging, Ultrasound and Radar Signals
With 14 Bit Resolution, 125 MS/s Sample Rate
At Very High Trigger Repeat Frequency.

Capturing data from rapidly occurring trigger signals has traditionally been very difficult, as most waveform digitizers slow down in the amount of data they can collect as the record length becomes shorter.  This problem becomes severe when the record length is in the 1024 to 4096 point range.

The reason why digitizers slow down is that they use single-port memory, which requires that data acquisition be stopped in order to offload the record that has been collected in on-board acquisition memory.  Once the data has been offloaded, the digitizer must be re-armed to capture the next record.  All this software overhead takes time and the result is a slower system.

ATS460, the 14 bit 125 MS/s PCI Digitizer from AlazarTech, uses optional Dual-Port Memory, which combined with proprietary AutoDMA circuitry, allows data acquisition to continue unabated even as the previous record is being transferred to host PC memory using bus-mastering.  In other words, there is no software involvement.  Hence the high data transfer rate.

In fact, you can even collect pre-trigger data if you need!  Try this with the competition's over-priced alternatives.

Use of modern, FPGA-based technology allows us to bring all this functionality to you at a price much lower than you expect.  Contact us for more details.
