Multichannel, GHz digitizers with up to 12 channels
DN6.33x digitizers have 12-bit resolution and a maximum of six channels at 10 GS/s or 12 channels at 5 GS/s acquisition speed. As part of the Netbox series, they’re reported to be an easy-to-use instrument line that requires only an Ethernet cable to be controlled from any PC, laptop or network. Their software package and hardware features make them ideal for automated testing applications, capturing signals on multiple, synchronized inputs.
Each channel in DN6.33x features a 12-bit ADC with sampling rates of 3.2, 6.4 or 10 GS/s, and related analog bandwidths of 1, 2 or 3 GHz. Models are available with 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 channels, giving users flexibility without overspending on unneeded performance. If only 1 or 2 channels are required, a smaller DN2.33x series is available. They also feature:
- Synchronous sampling across all channels;
- Four independent programmable input ranges (±200 mV to ±2.5 V) per channel with programmable offset, on-board calibration and precise timing alignment;
- Standard memory that allows 200 ms capture duration at full speed, expandable to 800 ms; and
- Standard front-panel connectors for external clocks, triggers and digital I/O
In addition, flexible acquisition modes, such as transient, multiple and optional block averaging combine with trigger capabilities to allow precise capture of rare or complex events. Each trigger has its own timestamp, making it possible to time between acquisitions that may be separated by hours, or just fractions of a microsecond.
