High-Speed A/D 12-Bit Digitizers
GaGe 12-bit resolution digitizer models divide the input voltage range into 4,096 different digitization levels, which improves the delectability limit by a factor of 16 over the 256 levels of an 8-bit resolution digitizer model. GaGe 12-bit digitizers feature sampling rates at up to 3 GigaSamples per second (GS/s) on 2 channels or 6 GigaSamples per second (GS/s) on 1 channel with input bandwidths of up to 1.75 GHz, deep onboard sample memory up to 4 GS (8 GB), and true ENOBs up to 8.9 bits. In addition to their advanced features, our 12-bit digitizers are easy to use, [...]
High-Speed A/D 14-Bit Digitizers
GaGe 14-bit resolution digitizer models divide the input voltage range into 16,384 different digitization levels, which improves the delectability limit by a factor of 4 over the 4,096 levels of a 12-bit resolution digitizer model and a factor of 16 over the 256 levels of an 8-bit resolution digitizer model. GaGe 14-bit digitizers feature sampling rates at up to 500 MegaSamples per second (MS/s) and are available with 2 digitizing channels, input bandwidths of up to 250 MHz, deep onboard sample memory up to 4 GS (8 GB), and true ENOBs of 11.6 bits. In addition to their advanced [...]
PCI Express (PCIe) Data Streaming
All Gage PCI Express (PCIe) CompuScope Digitizers are capable of streaming acquired waveform data through the PCIe bus directly to the host PC RAM by utilizing the eXpert PCIe Data Streaming Firmware. By contrast, in standard Memory Mode operations the waveform data is first acquired to the digitizer card's onboard memory, acquisition is stopped, and then the data residing in onboard memory can be transferred to the host PC system. eXpert PCIe Data Streaming Mode operations provide two distinct advantages over standard Memory Mode. First, Streaming Mode may overcome the acquisition time limit imposed by the size volume of [...]

GaGe Whitepaper: Real-Time High-Speed Data Acquisition on PC-Based System Platforms
GaGe Whitepaper: Real-Time High-Speed Data Acquisition on PC-Based System Platforms By Gerald Allgaier, Systems Specialist and Bob Fitzgerald, Application Specialist - Vitrek For many measurements that require the capture and processing of analog data, data throughput speed and conversion resolution are the two most important considerations. Typical examples include Radar, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Ultrasound Imaging, Non- Destructive Testing (NDT), Mass Spectroscopy / Time-of-Flight (TOF), and Production Test. These test applications usually demand high speed data transfer rates. So typically, Digitizers (A/D) or Arbitrary Waveform Generators (D/A) residing on a high-speed backplane are required. These [...]

GaGe Application Note: Creating a Data Link Signal Integrity Test Platform
Download a PDF Copy of this App Note Data Link Device Testing The data link device under test (Figure 1) is characterized by comparing test signals that are input to the link with signals measured at the link output. Differences between these two test signals indicate a degradation by the link during transmission. Figure 1. Two test platforms (PCIe and PXIe, respectively) transmit and receive the data link test signals. GaGe RazorMax high-speed data acquisition cards record the data for signal integrity comparison. The input and output test signals require sampling at 1 GS/s (GigaSample per second) [...]
