Acquisition cards have universal appeal

The M2i.3025 is based on the new universal M2i card base from Spectrum.

The M2i.3025 is based on the new universal M2i card base from Spectrum.

The card allows the acquisition of one 12bit channel with 200Msample/s or two synchronous channels with 100Msample/s.

The M2i.30xx series in total has 17 different versions with one up to four synchronous channels and 40 to 200Msample/s sampling rate.

Even the standard version is equipped with 64 byte (32Msample) of onboard memory.

The maximum onboard memory of 4Gbyte (2Gsample), which is completely mounted on the cards and doesn't occupy any additional slot space, allows the acquisition of one channel at 200Msample/s for 10s.

When performing slower acquisitions the complete onboard memory can be used as a FIFO buffer and data can be continuously transferred over the PCI-X interface with a transfer speed up to 255Mbyte/s.

The interface is still 100% compatible with standard 32bit PCI systems.

Thanks to an all-new main control the M2i cards offer a wide variety of application focused features.

One example is the multiple recording mode, allowing the user to acquire trigger events with a fast repetition rate.

This mode is now matching perfectly all application needs with freely programmable pretrigger and posttrigger, delay trigger, timestamps and an extremely short re-arming time of less than four clock cycles.

Other notable features include ABA mode, gated sampling, extended trigger and clock modes as well as the easy to program software interface.

Using the star-hub option up to 16 cards can be synchronised in one system with no phase delay.

The cards of the M2i series are delivered with drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP64 and Linux as well as several programming examples.

As an option a huge variety of third-party products like LabView, LabWindows, Matlab, VEE, DasyLab or MS Excel is supported.
