PCI-98x6 digitisers

Adlink Technology has announced the release of an expansion to its digitiser product line with the introduction of three PCI digitisers - the PCI-98x6 series.

The PCI-9816, PCI-9826 and PCI-9846 four-channel, 16-bit high-resolution digitisers offer sampling rates of 10 MS/s, 20 MS/s, and 40 MS/s respectively.

The PCI-98x6 series combines three characteristics that make them optimised for various applications - high 16-bit accuracy, low noise, and high dynamic performance over a wide range of frequency domain.

This, Adlink said, makes them ideal for applications such as radar/lidar design and test, ultrasonic imaging, non-destructive testing, spectral monitor, and automatic electronic testing.

For example, the typical dynamic performance for the PCI-9816 includes 12.6-bit effective number of bits (ENOBs) and a 78.4dBc signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at an input frequency of a 1MHz sine wave.

For applications that need high-density channels in one system, the PCI-98x6 series provide a system synchronisation interface (SSI) to synchronise up to four cards.

Each member of the PCI-98x6 series also includes up to 512Mbytes of onboard memory for ample data storage to allow extended the acquisition times.

Adlink provides both legacy drivers for program development in Microsoft C++ and Visual Basic and task-oriented drivers, such as DAQPilot, to accelerate the development cycle.

The PCI-98x6 series of digitisers can also be configured and operated in National Instruments' Labview by using DAQPilot's Express VIs and Polymorphic VI.

Adlink also offers customised input ranges or higher bandwidth options on the PCI-98x6 series for OEM applications.
