New express digitizer - high sampling rates

Offers high sampling rates and onboard signal averaging for long-term, high-speed data recording

ADLINK Technology has released its new high-speed PCI Express digitizer, the PCIe-9852, featuring two simultaneously sampled 200 MS/s input channels with 14-bit resolution, 90 MHz bandwidth, and up to 1 GB DDR3 onboard memory. Highly accurate measurement, up to 800 MB/s data streaming, and onboard signal averaging technology, combine to make the PCIe-9852 ideal for long-term high-speed data recording applications such as distributed temperature sensing, radar signal testing, and atmospheric science research.

“ADLINK’s PCIe-9852 benefits Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) applications, by enabling significantly increased accuracy in temperature measurement.” stated Catherine Wu, Product Director of ADLINK's Measurement and Automation Product Segment. “The PCIe-9852’s two analog inputs simultaneously receive both Stokes and anti-Stokes lines generated in the application, and increased high resolution sampling rates meeting requirements for sensing distances of 30 km and more. In addition, onboard signal averaging technology isolates even minor detected data from crowded environments”

High Sampling Rate with Low-distortion Front End and High-Dynamic Performance
The PCIe-9852 provides 14-bit high resolution ADC and up to 200 MS/s sampling, delivering 83 dB SFDR, 62 dB SNR and -81 dB THD, leading the field in high dynamic performance. The PCIe-9852 provides a flexible set of input ranges ±0.2V, ±2V, or ±10V, software selectable 50Ω or 1MΩ input impedance, and a wide variety of triggering options and tight synchronization capability, all maximizing convenience of use.

Data Streaming Up to 800 MB/s for Real-time High-speed Data Recording
Based on Gen 2 PCI Express technology, the PCIe-9852 streams data on both channels at maximum data rate (200 MS/s), enabling continuous delivery to the host PC at rates up to 800 MB/s, and a complementary 8 x 500 GB driver RAID system (4 TB) further extends capture sessions beyond one hour. The PCIe-9852 combines high bandwidth, dual channel simultaneous data streaming, and built-in memory up to 1 GB for massive data storage, making it ideal for real-time high-speed data recording.

On-board Signal Averaging Technology
The PCIe-9852 is equipped with onboard Signal Averaging Technology, allowing detection of small repetitive signals in noisy environments, with no CPU loading, suitable for applications requiring extraction of small signals from background noise as occurs in distributed temperature sensing.

ADLINK PCIe-9852 supports multiple operating systems including Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Linux, and is fully compatible with third-party software such as LabVIEW ™ and MATLAB ®. Users can simply complete the programming through ADLINK DAQPilot software development kit.
