Monroe, N.Y. --- New digitizer and analyzer cards with ready-to-use COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) instruments from Acqiris USA provide increased performance and quality for easy integration into OEM products. The 8- and 12-bit cards, available with sampling rates from 100 MS/s to 4 GS/s, with bandwidth up to 1 GHz in PCI (or CompactPCI) package, are suitable for systems that not only acquire signals, but must quickly analyze the results, in both commercial and government-related OEM applications such as lidar, radar, semiconductors test, biochemistry, life science, scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and 3D modeling.

The new digitizer cards (12-bit DP310/308/306 and 8-bit DP240/235/214) and analyzer cards(AP240/235/201/200) use proprietary Acqiris technology that perform critical data acquisition functions including front-end signal conditioning and amplification (FEA), analog-to-digital conversion and channel interleaving (ADC and CPS), high-precision time base for clock and trigger distribution (COS), and memory and acquisition control (MAC). This provides designers with tested, guaranteed working designs that can be quickly integrated into OEM products, saving engineering resources without compromising the quality of the interface between the digitizer/analyzer and the rest of the system.

The company employs a modular design philosophy, in terms of hardware, firmware and software, that makes it possible to respond to special requirements.

Pricing for PCI digitizer cards starts at $3990. Pricing for PCI analyzer cards starts at $9990.
