GaGe expands PCIe digitizer portfolio

GaGe by Vitrek has added 14-bit and 16-bit resolution options to its Razor series of high-speed, dual-channel PCIe digitizers. These instruments offer an effective number of bits (ENOB) of ~11+ typical and a PCIe Gen 3 x8 interface.

RazorEdge Express models with 14-bit or 16-bit resolution provide A/D sampling rates of up to 250 Msamples/ and an analog input bandwidth of 125 MHz. For higher sampling rates, RazorPlus Express models with 14-bit or 16-bit resolution achieve sampling rates of up to 500 Msamples/s and have an analog input bandwidth of 250 MHz.

Features common to both RazorEdge Express and RazorPlus Express digitizers include 8 Gbytes of onboard memory, a set of 50-Ω and 1-MΩ input channel pairs, and programming-free operation with GaGeScope PC oscilloscope software for Windows. With optional eXpert PCIe data streaming FPGA firmware, the digitizers can stream acquired data to host PC memory via the PCIe interface at sustained rates of up to 1 Gbyte/s for real-time continuous signal processing or signal recording operations.
