PCI Digitizers offer high-resolution, 16-bit accuracy.
Press Release Summary:
Offering sampling rates of 10, 20, and 40 MS/sec, PCI-98x6 series is comprised of 4-channel, Hi-Res digitizers. Typical dynamic performance for PCI-9816 includes 12.6-bit effective number of bits (ENOBs) and 78.4 dBc SNR at input frequency of 1 MHz sine wave. All models provide system synchronization interface (SSI) to synchronize up to 4 cards and up to 512 Mb onboard memory for data storage to allow extended acquisition times.

ADLINK Expands High-Resolution Digitizer Product Line
The PCI-98x6 series provides high accuracy, low noise, and high dynamic performance for automated testing applications
September 15, 2009, San Jose, Calif - ADLINK Technology Inc., a leading global provider of test and measurement products, announced the release of an expansion to their digitizer product line with the introduction of three new PCI digitizers, the PCI-98x6 series. The PCI-9816, PCI-9826 and PCI-9846 4-channel, 16-bit high-resolution digitizers offer sampling rates of 10 MS/s, 20 MS/s, and 40 MS/s respectively, complete the ADLINK 98x6 family of digitizers, following the introduction of the their PXI-based PXI-98x6 digitizers in February.
The PCI-98x6 series combines three characteristics that make them optimized for various applications - high 16-bit accuracy, low noise, and high dynamic performance over wide range of frequency domain, making them ideal for applications such as radar/lidar design and test, ultrasonic imaging, non-destructive testing, spectral monitor, and automatic electronic testing.. For example, the typical dynamic performance for the PCI-9816 includes 12.6-bit effective number of bits (ENOBs) and a 78.4 dBc signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at an input frequency of a 1 MHz sine wave.
For applications that need high-density channels in one system, the PCI-98x6 series provide a specially design system synchronization interface (SSI) to synchronize up to 4 cards. Each member of the PCI-98x6 series also includes up to 512 Mbytes of onboard memory for ample data storage to allow extended the acquisition times.
"High dynamic range is one of the most import features for a digitizer, especially in IF signal acquisition applications," stated Catherine Wu, Senior Product Director at ADLINK. "With the PCI-98x6 series of high resolution digitizers, customers will be able to measure very low-level signals in the presence of large signals, and thus increase the resolution and accuracy of the analysis of the results."
ADLINK provides both legacy drivers for program development in Microsoft C++ and Visual Basic and task-oriented drivers, such as DAQPilot, to accelerate the development cycle. The PCI-98x6 series of digitizers can also be configured and operated in NI® LabVIEW® by using DAQPilot's Express VIs and Polymorphic VI.
ADLINK also offers customized input ranges or higher bandwidth options on the PCI-98x6 series for OEM applications.
Pricing and Availability
The PCI-98x6 series of digitizers is currently available for a list price starting at $1,699.
