The UltraFast UF3026 transient recorder/oscilloscope PCI board provides a maximum sampling rate of 200Msample/s at 12bit ADC resolution.

The UltraFast UF3026 transient recorder/oscilloscope PCI board provides a maximum sampling rate of 200Msample/s at 12bit ADC resolution The board is suppplied with 16Mbyte RAM that can be expanded to 512Mbyte allowing the fastest signals to be recorded for long measurement times

The UF3026 has four analogue input channels, each with its own ADC to achieve simultaneous sampling and measurements free of time-skew errors.

Applications for the UF3026 include: radar, lidar, time of flight, nondestructive testing and supersonics.

The UF3026 includes a PCIbus master capability that allows measurement data to be transferred to the host PC memory at up to 100Mbyte/s.

As a result, tests can be repeated much quicker than traditional DSO/GPIB combinations.

Up to 16 UltraFast boards with 64 input channels can be configured in a synchronised system.

For radar/lidar applications there is the possibility to record multiple measurements with high repetition frequencies and stack each measurement shot in the onboard memory.

A timestamp option allows the time at which trigger events occur to be recorded for future reference.

The UF3026 supplied with the powerful SBench 5.0 software at no extra cost.

All features of the board can be accessed in the measurement setup.

The software can perform measurements or act as a simulated oscilloscope.

Powerful analysis features, such as FFT calculations and graphical presentation can be performed intuitively and without need for programming.

Drivers for developing programs under Windows XP, 2000, NT, 9x, DOS and Linux are included at no cost together with comprehensive documentation and source code examples for Visual Basic, C++ and Delphi.

Software drivers for LabView, Matlab, DasyLab or Agilent-VEE are also available.
