Arbitrary Waveform Generator has 125 MS/s sampling rate.

December 11, 2007 - Supplied with 64 MS signal memory (expandable to 4 GS), PCIe format UF2e-6110 Arbitrary Waveform Generator has 2 channels, each with its own 8-bit DAC to ensure synchronous output. Choice of 3 reconstruction filters provide bandwidths of 25 MHz, 5 MHz, or 500 kHz, and no-filter option is also software-selectable. Signals can be downloaded to on-board memory, output one time, output continuously until stopped, or output continuously and streamed gap-free from host PC RAM/HDD.

Strategic Test Extends PCI Express Series with 2-Channel, 125 MS/s 8-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Card features up to 4 giga samples memory

Woburn, MA USA - December 4, 2007. Strategic Test, one of the world's leading suppliers of PC-based instrument boards, has announced the UF2e-6110 two-channel 125 MS/s 8-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) PCI Express card.

With synchronous multi-channel capability, the AWG card is well suited for creating complex waveforms in applications that include I&Q signal generation, RADAR system development, communications testing, laser positioning, and HDTV signal generation.

Each channel has its own 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to ensure synchronous output and a choice of three reconstruction filters (5th and 4th order Butterworth lowpass) giving bandwidths of 25 MHz, 5 MHz or 500 kHz. A no-filter option is also software-selectable.

Typical dynamic specifications include signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of better than 60.9 dB, total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 69.1 dB and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) greater than 71.9 dB.

The board is supplied with 64 mega samples of signal memory as standard, but can be expanded to 4 giga samples through a proprietary onboard DIMM module.

As with all UltraFast AWG boards, the signals can be downloaded to on-board memory, output one time, or continuously until stopped, or continuously streamed gap-free from the host PC RAM or hard disks.

The following options are available allowing the user to customize the instrument:

Onboard memory: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 mega samples
Multiple Replay (memory segmentation)
Gated Sampling (output clock controlled by external TTL signal)
Digital Outputs (2 bits per DAC, synchronous)
Star Hub (synchronization of up to 5 or 16 boards, or 5 to 16 PCs. Can be used with Digitizer and Digital I/O boards to create mixed mode systems)
BaseXIO (adds 8 asynchronous digital I/O lines)
Amplifier board (increases output range from ±3 V to ±10 V)

Strategic Test also provides the industry's most comprehensive software support with the following Software Development Kit's available:

Windows Vista and XP64, XP, 2000, NT and 98
Linux drivers for RedHat, Suse, Fedora and Debian
MATLAB
LabVIEW
Agilent-VEE
LabWindows/CVI
DASYLab

Prices start at $4790. All UltraFast boards are supplied with the free-of-charge SBench software that allows users to generate and output waveforms without programming. SBench is available for both Windows and Linux.
