June 9, 2014 - Pentek introduced Talon RTV 2601 single-channel multiband recording and playback system for laboratory and benign environments. Equipped with a 200 MHz, 16-bit A/D, it is ideal for recording signal bandwidths up to 80 MHz with over 80 dB of spurious free dynamic range (SFDR.) The 800 MHz, 16-bit D/A reproduces recorded signals and also serves as a powerful complex waveform generator. The RTV 2601 includes a user-programmable digital downconverter (DDC) and digital upconverter (DUC), for recording and playing back signals with bandwidths ranging from a few kHz up to 80 MHz. Flexible center frequency tuning handles IF signals as high as 700 MHz.
Providing 4 TB of data storage, the six hot-swappable front-panel disk drives can be easily replaced by empty drives when full. All Talon recorders are built on a Windows 7 Professional workstation and include Pentek’s SystemFlow software, featuring a GUI (graphical user interface) and API (Application Programming Interface). The GUI provides intuitive controls for out-of-the-box turn-key operation using point-and-click configuration management. Configurations can be easily stored and recalled for single-click setup. The GUI also includes a virtual oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer to monitor signals before, during and after data collection.
The C-callable API allows users to integrate the recorder control into larger application systems. Pentek provides a Talon Recording System Simulator for evaluation of the SystemFlow software package. The Talon RTV 2601 Value Series recorder starts at $19,995 USD.
