AlazarTech's PCI Express based waveform digitizer boards are fully compatible with Windows 7

Montreal, Canada (January 12, 2010) AlazarTech, a manufacturer of high performance, low cost PC Based Instruments, today announced that its existing Windows drivers for PCI Express based waveform digitizers are 100% compatible with Windows 7.

Software drivers for ATS9870, ATS9350 and ATS9462 were found to be fully compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
Benchmarks for data streaming rates revealed the same performance level as under Windows XP or Vista, i.e. up to 1.4 GB/s for PCIe x8 and 720 MB/s for PCIe x4.

PCI bus based waveform digitizers (ATS660, ATS460, ATS860, ATS330, ATS310 and ATS850) have only been qualified for 32-bit version of Windows 7 operating system. 64-bit support will be announced at a later date.

“The popularity of Windows 7 has been phenomenal and many customers have switched quickly from older operating systems to Windows 7”, stated Muneeb Khalid, President of AlazarTech. “We are committed to providing the best software support in the industry and have invested a great deal of resources to support both Windows and Linux”.

Windows 7 compatible software drivers are available immediately from the company’s web site.

 

AlazarTech, headquartered in a suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, provides high performance, low cost PC Based Instruments and software for customers involved in building OEM products, manufacturing test systems and research and development.

AlazarTech was founded in 2003 by Muneeb Khalid, who was the original founder of Gage Applied Sciences Inc., a pioneer in PC Based Instrumentation. That company was sold to Tektronix Inc. in 2000.

While AlazarTech manufactures some of the fastest PCI and PCI Express digitizers on the market, speed alone is not the differentiating factor.  AlazarTech concentrates on providing usability features for its PCI and PCI Express digitizers that make them very easy to integrate into real-world OEM applications such as ultrasonic testing, medical imaging and radar signal analysis.

The key differentiation between AlazarTech products and the rest of the industry is AlazarTech’s Dual-Port Memory technology, which enables OEMs to create systems that can capture, analyze and store data in real time.
Customers can use AlazarTech products not only for R&D, but also deploy them in the field. Competitive products use single-port memory, forcing customers to stop acquisition in order to read data, thereby limiting their usefulness to R&D and algorithm development.

AlazarTech also works with selected OEMs to customize its products based on customer requirements.

The company's line of ATS PCI and PCI Express digitizers have been recognized by leading European, Asian and North American OEMs as being superior in quality to other devices on the market.

The company's products have found applications in industries such as medical imaging, metal inspection, defense, automotive and semiconductor test.
AlazarTech sells its products directly in North America, and internationally through a distribution network.
