PCI digitisers suit multichannel
applications
PCI digitisers offer up to eight channels, from 10 to 125Msample/s sampling per channel, and up to 4Gbyte of onboard acquisition memory on a single-slot PCI card.
Available now to order from Gage, the Octopus family claims a new standard for PCI digitisers with up to eight channels, from 10 to 125Msample/s sampling per channel, and up to 4Gbyte of onboard acquisition memory on a single-slot PCI card "There is currently no other PCI digitiser available on the market today that can provide the same combination of high channel-count, high sampling rate per channel and unbelievably deep onboard memory", said Eric Gillas, Gage General Manager

Educational bundles save on PC instrumentation
Gage Applied Technologies has launched two new educational promotions for its high-speed and high-resolution digitisers ideal for instructors and researchers.
Digitisers gain novel FIR filtering
New FIR filter technology allows users to filter digitised data in real time with a completely flexible and user customisable FIR filter.
"With pricing starting at less than $1000 per channel, our prices can't be beat either", Gillas added.
For those customers that require large channel-count test systems, several Gage Octopus cards can be combined in a single system to provide up to 128 digitising channels.
Each card can have a different number of channels, sampling speeds, and onboard memory, ideally suited for complex systems with multiple signals.
Typical high-channel-count applications include particle physics, ultrasonic, and automotive testing.
Gage's turnkey systems include a state-of-the-art ruggedised PC and any combination of Gage CompuScope digitiser cards, such as the Octopus multichannel digitisers, or CompuGen arbitrary waveform generator cards.
With more than 35 new digitisers to choose from and prices starting at less than $1000 per channel, Gage's new Octopus family of multichannel digitisers is a flexible and cost-effective solution for applications that require a high-speed, high-resolution digitiser at the lowest price.
"Now customers pay only for the number of channels, memory, and sampling speeds that they really need", says Gillas.
"We can also offer volume discounts to qualified OEMs".
Gage's Octopus family of digitisers is compatible with GageScope oscilloscope software that 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 or LabView for users that want to create their own custom applications.
