Montreal, Canada ( June 10, 2002) - Gage Applied Technologies, a leading manufacturer of Instrument Building Blocks based on the personal computer platform, today announced the launch of CompuScope 82G v1.3, a new family of 2 GS/s waveform digitizer cards for the PCI bus that provides special features to support very fast data throughput applications.

"Our customers told us that they needed a waveform digitizer with 2 GS/s sampling rate and very fast data throughput to PC memory in order to keep up with the high trigger repeat rate in radar, high-energy physics, laser, wireless and ultrasonic applications. We listened and we delivered a fully working and thoroughly tested product in record time", stated Karen McCurry, Marketing Manager of Gage Applied. "This product release is aligned with our overall corporate strategy of providing our target customers with hardware and software Instrument Building Blocks that offer differential advantage."

The backbone of the fast data throughput is a proprietary bus mastering scheme that allows data transfers to PC memory as fast as 80 MB/s. Data is available in a standard Windows® virtual buffer for analysis by any application.

For even faster data transfers, the new Multiple Recording feature is now available allowing data from multiple trigger events to be captured into on-board memory. The hardware re-arm time between the acquisitions is lightning fast since it is done in hardware with no communication with the CPU required. The re-arm time is less than 650 sample points in single channel acquisition mode and less than 325 sample points in dual channel acquisition mode.

Compatible With GageScope Oscilloscope Software

All members of CompuScope 82G v1.3 family are fully compatible with GageScope® Oscilloscope software that allows users to acquire and analyze signals without having to write a single line of programming code.

Software Support

Gage also offers Software Development Kits (SDKs) for C/C++, MATLAB® and LabVIEW®, with support for Windows 98/ME and Windows NT/2000/XP.

Typical Applications

Typical applications of the CompuScope 82G v1.3 cards include radar, proton decay measurement, manufacturing test, IF signal recording and Optical head test for industries such as Wireless Communications, Data Storage, Military/Aerospace and High Energy Physics.

Availability and Pricing

CompuScope 82G v1.3 will become available June 15, 2002 with a projected lead time of 2 weeks ARO for small quantity orders.
