Did You Know? GaGe RazorMax Express Digitizer/Oscilloscope: An Efficient & Cost-Effective Tool for High-Energy Physics Particle Counting Applications
Introduction Figure 1. Examples of photo-mulitiplier tubes, or PMTs (Photo courtesy of Hamamatsu). An important category of experimental physics is nuclear and particle physics, a near synonym for high-energy physics. A broad range of experiments in this domain are classed as scattering experiments in which an incident particle hits a target and the resulting scattered particles are studied. Scattering processes can involve the creation or annihilation of particles. The modern approach to studying scattered particles is to employ particle detectors, devices that detect individual particles impinging upon them. This paper provides an overview of typical instruments [...]

Whitepaper: What Defines Performance in High-Speed Digitizers
Introduction Today’s advanced, PC-based digitizers for high-speed data acquisition are necessary for myriad applications – ranging from signal analysis, lidar, ultrasound imaging and non-destructive testing, to communications, particle physics, mass spectroscopy and more. This article highlights how digitizers are unique and describes the unique performance parameters engineers should use when selecting a high-speed digitizer. Digitizers Cater to In-Process Signal Testing While digitizers and Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSOs) both use Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) chips as their core electronics they are different tools. The DSO is optimized for the probing and visualization of signals that are typically encountered on [...]

Unlock RF Spectrum Secrets with the GaGe CSE1622 Digitizer
Summary: High-speed spectrum sensing is essential in many radar applications and can be achieved by modern digitizers paired with radios. The GaGe CSE1622, a gallium-germanium 16-bit, 200-MS/s PCIe digitizer, is utilized for this purpose. It rapidly captures 40-MHz-wide snapshots of the spectrum, which are filtered and down-converted by the SI-8614 Nanoceptor receiver. The data is then processed using LabVIEW virtual instruments (VIs), optimized for near-continuous capture rates and efficient real-time monitoring. For optimal performance, a LabVIEW producer-consumer loop is employed. The producer loop quickly queues data captured from the digitizer; however, the consumer loop processes it slower using [...]
Precision Methane Isotope Analysis with Gage Digitizer Technology
Summary: Methane measurements have reached new levels of precision with the development of a spectrometer capable of decoding the intricacies of infrared light. At the heart of this advancement is a GaGe digitizer, a critical component enabling rapid switching between two specific wavelengths. This innovative approach effectively reduces noise interference stemming from temperature and frequency fluctuations, a common challenge in such measurements. Researchers have achieved remarkable accuracy in determining methane isotope ratios by harnessing the power of optically switched dual-wavelength cavity ring-down spectroscopy (OSDW-CRDS). This breakthrough opens doors to a deeper understanding of methane's role in climate change, [...]
