AlazarTech
Introduces World's Fastest 16-Bit PCI
Digitizer
with 125 MS/s Sampling Rate and Dual Port
Memory
Montreal, Canada (June 26, 2006) - AlazarTech,
a manufacturer of high
performance, low cost PC Based Instruments,
today announced the release of
ATS660, the world's fastest 16 bit PCI
waveform digitizer designed for OEMs and R&D
customers involved in RF signal analysis,
biomedical imaging, ultrasonics, OCT, radar,
lidar ect.ATS660 offers two simultaneous analog
inputs that can each be sampled at rates up to
125 MS/s
(one 16 bit 125 MSPS ADC per
channel), providing Signal to Noise Ratio in
excess of 73 dB. Each channel can have up to
128 Megasamples of on-board acquisition memory
buffer. The unit occupies only one
half-length PCI slot.
ATS660 features Dual Port Acquisition
Memory that allows transfer of acquired data
to PC memory without having to stop the
acquisition session. This dual port
memory feature is not found on any other
waveform digitizer available on the market.
"With the ATS660, customers not only
get the fastest and highest quality 16 bit
data acquisition system, they also get the
ability to transfer data to PC memory at
very high speed without having to stop the
acquisition" stated Muneeb Khalid, President of
AlazarTech. "This, combined with
FPGA customization for filtering, FFT ect.,
allows OEMs to deploy systems immediately,
without having to build their own hardware".
ATS660 PCI digitizers use FPGA-based
digital electronics for control and data
processing. AlazarTech's proprietary
HyperDisP display technology allows
the full 128 Megasamples long record to be
displayed on a computer screen in a matter
of seconds - an improvement of many orders
of magnitude compared to the competition.
The on-board FPGA can also be customized
for OEMs. Customization can include
simple control functions, such as extra
triggers or trigger enables, simple
mathematical functions, such as averaging,
and even complex DSP functions such as FIR
filters, demodulation and FFT.
OEMs can integrate the ATS660 PCI
digitizers into their own systems very
easily using Windows XP/2000/98SE compatible
ATS-SDK Software Development Kit. This
SDK includes sample programs written in
C/C++ and VisualBASIC. A high
performance LabVIEW VI, called ATS-VI, is
also available. A Linux driver, ATS-Linux,
is also available and supports kernel
version up to 2.6.
