The Zeon StrongARM computer board is optimised for embedded industrial and automotive applications.
Ultra-fast sampling board runs up to 125Mbit/s
The UF.7021 is a full-length PCI board with 64 digital input or output channels that can simultaneously capture and replay signals at a maximum sample rate of 125Mbit/s.
Typical applications for the UF2021 include: disk drive testing, cellular communications, RF receivers, imaging, nondestructive testing, ultrasonic testing, laser Doppler anemometry, high-end video, CCD testing, vibration analysis, laser diode characterisation and impact testing,.
To enable long signals to be captured even at maximum rates, the UF2021 is supplied with 16Msample of onboard memory that can be expanded to 512Msample without requiring additional PCI slots.
The board includes connectors for external triggering and clock signals: these also permit up to 16 boards with 64 channels to be configured as a fully synchronised system.
As with other UltraFast boards in the range, the triggering options of the UF2021 are extremely flexible.
There are seven external trigger modes and a further 18 internal trigger options than include an OR condition and a feature called the pulsewidth trigger that goes a long way to eliminating the possibility of false triggering.
With it's PCIbus master capabilities the UF2021 is able to transfer data at 100Mbyte/s from the onboard signal memory to the host PC RAM allowing tests to be performed up to 100 times faster than traditional GPIB oscilloscopes.
Software supplied with the UF2021 include drivers for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, NT, 98 and Linux, together with the SBench 5.2 oscilloscope and signal analysis program.
Drivers for LabVIew, Matlab, DasyLab and VEE can be supplied as extra-cost options.
