MIXED MODE OPTION FOR DIGITIZERS AND AWGS
Spectrum Instrumentation has released an optional piggyback module that adds 16 synchronous digital channels to the 16-bit analog data of the M2P.59xx-x4 series digitizers and M2P.65xx-x4 series AWGs with sample rates up to 125 MS/s. The additional digital lines extend the four standard multi-purpose XIO lines that are already on these digitizer and AWG cards. This provides a total of 20 fully programmable XIO lines. These can be programmed as synchronously sampled digital inputs for a digitizer, synchronous digital outputs for an AWG, or asynchronous I/O lines, status lines, or additional trigger inputs for complex trigger conditions. This option comes in two different versions, one with SMB connectors and one with an FX2 flat-ribbon connector. The SMB-version (M2p.xxxx-DigSMB) offers ten connectors on the front panel plus six more that are available internally which can be used for PC-internal cross connection or external connection via an empty slot bracket.
