Montreal, Canada ( July 24, 1999) -
Gage Applied Sciences Inc., the leading manufacturer of high quality, high speed data acquisition systems, introduces the CompuScope 12100, a single-slot 12 bit data acquisition card for the PCI bus capable of conversion rates at up to 100 MS/s.
Back to Press Releases
Product Description
The CompuScope 12100 is a state-of-the-art, single-slot, IBM PC compatible, PCI bus card capable of performing 12 bit A/D conversion at real-time sampling rates of up to 100 MS/s (million samples per second) in single channel mode and 50 MS/s in dual channel mode, with a bandwidth of 50 MHz.
The CompuScope 12100 features an impressive 60 dB Signal to Noise Ratio, making it highly immune to digital noise. It also features an auto-calibration feature, ensuring precise conversion of analog signals irrespective of ambient temperature.
Up to 4 Million Samples of On-board Memory
The CompuScope 12100 can have up to 4 million samples of on-board memory. The Multiple Record mode, which allows "stacking" of data from successive triggers, is ideal for high Pulse Repeat Frequency (PRF) systems in which data cannot be downloaded to the PC's memory in between triggers.
Fast Data Throughput
The CompuScope 12100 takes full advantage of the fast data throughput offered by the PCI bus. Using Bus Mastering, data can be transferred from on-board memory to the PC's memory at rates up to 100 MB/s - more than 100 times the ISA bus throughput!
Powerful, Award-winning GageScope Software
The CompuScope 12100 comes with FREE award-winning GageScope for DOS software which enables users to operate the card like an oscilloscope without writing a single line of programming code. It allows users to store, analyze and print data and to convert it to an ASCII format for use in spreadsheets and mathematical software packages. The powerful yet easy-to-use GageScope for Windows, Gage's new oscilloscope emulation software for Windows 95, is also available.
Advantages Over Traditional DSOs and Transient Recorders
The CompuScope 12100 has several key advantages over traditional multi-MegaHertz data acquisition using Digital Storage Oscilloscopes under GPIB or IEEE 488 control, as the table below demonstrates:
