February 25, 2009 – ADLINK Technology announced the PXI-9816, PXI-9826, and PXI-9846, a series of high-resolution 16-bit PXI digitizers offering sampling rates of 10 MS/s, 20 MS/s, and 40 MS/s, respectively. This combination of high resolution and sampling rate enables monitoring of high-speed transient signals while maintaining very high accuracy.
Furthermore, each digitizer of the PXI-98x6 series supports up to 512 MB of onboard memory sustain the continuous transfer of data between the digitizer and the system for an increased acquisition time.The PXI-98x6 series also utilizes the PXI trigger bus to synchronize multiple modules without external routing or cabling for use in applications such as ultrasonic imaging, non-destructive testing, and automatic electronic testing.The analog front-end of the PXI-98x6 series has been designed to offer greater DC accuracy and higher dynamic performance over similar cards currently available on the market. For example, the signal-to-noise ratio of the 16-bit, 10 MS/s PXI-9816 can be up to 78 dB and its effective number of bits is 12.6 with a 1 MHz sine wave input signal at -1 dBFS amplitude.
ADLINK provides drivers for development in Microsoft C++ and Visual Basic environments. The PXI-98x6 series is also supported by ADLINK’s DAQPilot 2 task-oriented driver which not only quickens development time, but also provides Express VIs and Polymorphic VIs for use in Labview.
Pricing and Availability
The PXI-98x6 series of 16-bit digitizers is currently available for a list price starting at $1,699.
