Multichannel digitisers adapt to their
tasks
The Gage Octopus family of multichannel digitisers is based on a modular concept that allows users to custom-build their own digitisers according to their specific needs.
The Gage Octopus family of multichannel digitisers, now available exclusively in the UK from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is based on a modular concept which allows users to custom-build their own digitisers according to their specific needs The new digitisers offer from two to eight digitising channels, 12 or 14bit resolution, 10 to 125Msample/s sampling per channel, and 256Mbyte to 4Gbyte of onboard acquisition memory per channel - all in a single-slot PCI card

Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
Programmable power-supplies offer outputs to 1kW
The XHR range of programmable power supplies, offering output ratings up to 1 kW is power-factor corrected for low current draw and reduced generation of input current harmonics.
This represents a significant improvement over any other digitiser available on the market today.
The modular nature of the Octopus digitisers means that users pay for only for the features that they need rather than unnecessarily paying for a "one size fits all" digitiser solution.
The cost per channel starts at less than GBP 1500.
Optionally available on any of the Octopus digitisers are Gage's new eXpert advanced onboard FPGA technologies, providing functions that include finite impulse response filtering, signal averaging, peak detection and FFT (Fast Fourier Transform).
As a result, users can perform "on-the-fly" data analysis and greatly increase the speed of data processing.
The Octopus family is fully compatible with GageScope oscilloscope software, which allows users to acquire and analyse signals without writing a single line of programming code.
Gage also offers software development kits (SDKs) in C/C#, Matlab, LabView and LabWindows/CVI for users that want to create their own custom applications.
Gage Applied Technologies is a worldwide leader in design and manufacture of high-performance PC-based digitiser and oscilloscope cards.
Gage products are available in the UK exclusively from TTi.
