PCI.258 - Spectrum Transient Recorders Digitizers

Spectrum PCI.258 Overview

The PCI.248 and PCI258 are fast A/D-Converters for PCI based Systems. Two independent A/D-Converters make it possible to sample signals simultaneously without the problems of multiplexed systems. This is necessary when the phase of a signal carries interesting information. Different modes, e.g. memory segmentation, internal/external clock and trigger as well as the pre- and posttrigger capability makes it easy to adapt this recorder to the measuring problem.

The large on-board memory allows the recording of signals with extremely wide bandwidth. Additionally the board has bus master capabilities, so it is able to transfer the measured data directly to the memory of the PC.
