Abaco Systems latest analogue front-end mezzanine card for FPGAs has been tailored for software defined radio, as well as electronic warfare, radar, test and measurement. FMC300, as it will be known, has 7GHz of usable analogue bandwidth, claims the company, with multiple channels offering up to 12bit 6Gsample/s ADC and up to 16bit 12Gsample/s DAC through a JESD204B/C interface. Data ...

Spectrum Instrumentation has introduced a way to parallel its 12bit 10Gsample/s data acquisition cards up to eight channels, that can also produce 16 12bit channels at 5Gsample/s. Called Star-Hub, it works with the company’s recently introduced M5i.33xx series of PCIe digitisers. “The Star-Hub option is installed by mounting a single piggyback module onto any of the M5i series cards in ...

Ittia has ported its DB IoT database for microcontrollers to a sub-set of the STM32 MCU family, via the STM32CubeIDE integrated development environment. “Real-time data capture and edge analytics are becoming common requirements for edge devices, including machine learning and AI applications,” according to Ittia. “Manufacturers selecting STM32 microcontrollers to build gateways, industrial systems and medical devices can now locally ...

Spectrum Instrumentation has added driver support for the Nvidia Clara AGX computing architecture for AI medical instruments. This means that Spectrum’s digitiser boards (ADCs), arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) and digital IO cards can be used with Clara AGX (right) for electronic signal acquisition and the generation of analogue and digital signals. “The Nvidia Clara AGX developer kit provides a platform ...

Upgrades to linked processing markers, Microsoft Word reporting and J1939 multi-frame support are amongst the improvements in version 2021.4 of DewesoftX, the software that runs alongside Dewesoft’s data acquisition hardware. Linked processing markers: FFT markers available on the 2D graph widget now have dedicated marker output channels allowing for the export and analysis of marker readings. New marker functionalities have been ...

Analog Devices has introduced a 16bit, 15Msample/s data acquisition module for digitising fast transient signals in power analysis applications “enabling low latency digital control in hardware-in-the-loop or source measurement unit applications”, according to the company. Called ADAQ23875, it has differential input signal conditioning circuitry including 0.005% matched resistors to implement a ±2.048V input range with a 4.096V reference – the reference is also ...

German data acquisition specialist Spectrum is offering Ubuntu 18.04 driver software for Nvidia’s Jetson AGX Xavier single board computer. “All the demands from customers were about this model,” the company told Electronics Weekly. Jetson AGX Xaviers have a multi-core Arm CPU, a Cuda-based GPUs for fast parallel processing and a spare PCIe slot. “The driver package means that any of Spectrum’s ...

Yokogawa has introduced a ScopeCorder (oscilloscope plus data recorder) that works up to 200Msample/s and 8Gsamples, as well as a single test software front-end that will operate and inter-operate all of its ScopeCorders, power analysers and oscilloscopes. The hand-carriable DL950 is built on the existing DL850E, but handles more data at faster speeds over longer durations: up to 8Gsample, up ...

Spectrum Instrumentation has added digital inputs to a series of analogue LXI/Ethernet-digitisers, to increase synchronous acquisition to eight analogue channels plus eight digital channels plus three multi-purpose I/O lines – 19 channels in total. Four models are available in the digitizerNetbox family: 5Msample/s DN2.591-08 20Msample/s DN2.592-08 40Msample/s DN2.593-08 125Msample/s DN2.596-08 The option to add eight digital channels changes the name to DN2.59x-08-Dig. In use, the ...

RS Components has introduced the DAQ973A data-acquisition system from Keysight, a three-slot modular mainframe unit with a choice of nine plug-in modules and a sampling rate of 800kSa/s. Keysight has re-used the measurement engine from its test and measurement equipment inside the DAQ973A for modular flexibility and universal inputs with built-in signal conditioning. The unit also offers a built-in 6½-digit ...
