Montreal, Canada ( February 27, 2004) - Gage Applied Technologies, Inc., is thrilled to announce the release of a brand-new 14-bit, 105 MegaSamples per second digitizer for the PCI platform. The new CompuScope 14105 comes from a long tradition of top performance signal capture cards and constitutes an important evolutionary step in the PC-based digitizer technology developed since the late 80's by Gage.

"Unlike other general-purpose digitizers on the market, including many we manufacture, the CompuScope 14105 was designed primarily to solve an important communications test application. But unlike other specialized digitizer modules, this card remains flexible enough to go way beyond I&Q and power spectrum testing," indicated Andrew Dawson, Ph.D., Worldwide Sales Manager at Gage Applied Technologies. "This card has a few tricks up its sleeves, like a large FPGA that we will soon open to our customers for programming, and a new memory architecture and technology that allows us to reduce the cost. Our engineers worked closely with world-class communications customers and really came through," concluded Dr. Dawson.

The card, nicknamed Comm Analyzer, provides two simultaneous input channels, 14 bits of vertical resolution, 105 MS/s simultaneous sampling rate, over 250 MHz of bandwidth, time-stamping, external triggering and external clocking, as well as trigger and clock output signals for maximum ease of synchronization with other system modules. The single input range of 0.5 V RMS is coupled to a transformer with 50 Ohms of impedance, satisfying a key wireless communications test requirement. Accuracy is typically ± 0.5% of full-scale input with excellent linearity. The card comes standard with 16 MegaSamples of memory making 8 MegaSamples available to each of the two channels. The CS14105 can also be equipped with up to 1 GigaSample of total on-board memory and can use 32-bit, 66 MHz PCI standards to transfer data at 200 MB/s.

Completely programming-free operation of the CompuScope 14105 is possible with the world-renowned GageScope® oscilloscope software, allowing the user to easily setup the digitizer and acquire, view, archive and analyze signals. Gage also offers Software Development Kits (SDKs) for C/C++, MATLAB®, and of course the very popular LabVIEW® environment, with support for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
