Introduction

The ADLINK PXIe-9834 PXI Express digitizer delivers high speed,
high quality data acquisition, with each of four input channels sup-
porting up to 80MS/s sampling with 16-bit resolution A/D con-
verter. This provides simultaneous recording of signals on all
channels with no inter-channel phase delay, and the extremely
large onboard memory enables long recording times even at the
highest sampling rates.

The PXIe-9834 features flexible input, ±10V (only for 1M

Ω

), ±5V,

±1V and ±0.5V along with software selectable 50

Ω

or 1M

Ω

input

impedance. Four high resolution 16-bit A/D converters combined
with low-noise, high bandwidth analog front-end enable highly
accurate signal acquisition. Providing extremely large onboard
memory, the PCI Express 4 lane interface supports data stream-
ing even at the highest sampling rates. The PXIe-9834 is also
auto-calibrated with an onboard reference circuit compensating
the offset and gain error of acquired analog input signals.

The PXIe-9834 is, accordingly, ideal for applications such as radar
signal acquisition, fiber optic detection, and many others.
