  • Up to 2 channels
  • Up to 90MHz Bandwidth
  • Up to 1GS on board memory

End of live of the Spectrum M3i.48xx series.

The Spectrum M3i.48xx series is replaced by the M2p.59xx series digitizers.

Spectrum M3i.48xx

The Spectrum M3i.48xx series digitizer cards are 16-bit digitizers with a maximum sample rate of 180MS/sec. Depending on the model you will have up to 2 channels. An 8-channel asynchronous digital I/O card is available as an option. Up to 8 M3i.48xx cards can be synchronized in one system. Synchronization with the digital I/O cards and arbitrary waveform generators from the M3i series is also possible. All cards in the M3i.48xx series have a maximum of 1GSample on board memory. In FIFO mode, it is possible to simultaneously forward the data to PC memory and retrieve new data.

The M3i.48xx models are available in both PCI and PCI-express versions

All Spectrum digitizers also have acquisition modes such as Multiple recording (segmented memory), Gated sampling and ABA mode (sample speed switching) for data reduction.

A comprehensive package of software support comes with all digitizers. Drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems (32-bit and 64-bit) are included. Example programs and drivers for C/C+++, LabVIEW (Windows), MATLAB (Windows and Linux), LabWindows/CVI, IVI, NET, Delphi, Visual Basic and Python are available, as well as a basic licence of the Spectrum software SBench 6.
