32 MSamples of signal memory is provided as standard, but can be expanded to 2 GSamples through a proprietary DIMM module onboard. As with all UltraFast cards the signals can be recorded to card memory and then offloaded, or continuously streamed at up to 225 MBytes per second to the PC host.
The card supports both single-ended and reduced noise differential input termination, without reduction of channel count. Each channel contains an independent amplifier that allows the user to program each channel with the best voltage range to match each sensor. Eight ranges are provided from ±10 V to ±50 mV. A self-calibration feature ensures the removal of any voltage offsets prior to recording.
Large synchronous systems can be configured with up to 16 cards for 128 simultaneous channels. Trigger conditions can be set on multiple cards combined with AND/OR, a feature often used in production test processes.
The cards are supplied with drivers for Microsoft Windows and Linux, with free downloads of future OS version drivers such as Windows Vista. Drivers for MATLAB, LabVIEW, VEE, DASYLab and LabWindows/CVI are optionally available.
The Ultrafast UF2-4600 cards are available immediately and prices range from $3190 for the UF2-4620 2 channel 200 kS/s card, to $11990 for the 8 channel 3 MS/s version. Volume discounts and OEM customization prices are available on request.
