Spectrum Instrumentation has launched seven digitizers with 12bit resolution and bandwidths up to 4.7GHz in a new flagship range.

The seven models in the DN2.33x series comprise of one or two channel variants offering maximum sampling rates of 3.2, 5 and 10 GS/s, all with 12-bit resolution and bandwidths of 1, 2, 3 and 4.7 GHz, making them the new flagship models in Spectrum’s ‘Netbox’ product range.

Using an Ethernet/LXI cable, the DN2.33x series products can connect directly to PCs, laptops or even the company network. Signals are acquired at sampling rates between 3.2 GS/s and 10 GS/s, with 12-bit vertical resolution and bandwidths between 1 GHz and 4.7 GHz. With seven variants to choose from, scientists and engineers will find the perfect fit solution for their application.

The digitizers are designed for R&D and industrial users who are looking for a complete measurement solution. The digitizers come with all the software tools needed to capture, store and analyse signals. For out-of-the-box operation, the units simply connect the Gbit Ethernet port of the digitizerNETBOX to a computer or company network, run the software and start working. LXI compliance ensures easy integration into almost any automated test system.

Front panel connectors provide an easy way to integrate units in ATE applications. Dedicated lines are available for external clock and trigger signals, as well as multi-purpose lines for a variety of uses such as Asynchronous Digital Inputs or Outputs, Synchronous Digital Inputs, Trigger, Clock Outputs, or Run and Arm status flags. If needed, there is even a high-speed Digital Pulse Generator option

Each channel features its own ADC and independent front-end signal conditioning, together with calibrated gain and offset. Input ranges are fully programmable from ±200 mV up to ±2.5 V. The ADCs of dual-channel models are clocked synchronously, ensuring that phase errors are minimized and cross-channel measurements can be made with absolute precision. The products also combine their fast sample rates with large on-board memory for the capture and storage of long or complex signals. Each unit comes with 2 GSamples (4 GB) of acquisition memory as standard or 8 GSamples (16 GB) as an option.

An array of smart trigger and acquisition modes in the digitizers enables problem signals to be acquired and stored, together with their trigger timestamps, in the most memory-efficient way. Transient capture, Multiple Recording, and an optional Block Averaging are all supported

Instrument control can be managed via the SBench 6 Professional software for acquisition, display, processing, analysis, storage and documentation. This is included free of charge with every unit. Alternatively, engineers can run their own application-specific code. Fully programmable, all digitizerNETBOX products come with software development kits for programming in many different languages, including C++, Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW.

Rackmount kits are available for installation of the digitizers in standard 19-inch racking systems. The instruments carry a 5-year warranty and software and firmware updates are free for each unit’s lifetime, with service and spare parts supported for around 15 to 20 years.
