CompuScope 85GC product introduction
CompuScope 85GC is the world’s fastest CompactPCI
TM
waveform digitizer, capable of sampling two
simultaneous input channels at rates as fast as 5 GS/s with 8 bit vertical resolution.
Recognizing that until very recently, almost all multi-MegaHertz data acquisition was done using Digital Storage
Oscilloscopes under GPIB control, Gage has ported all the features of these DSOs onto the CompuScope card.
This means that you do not have to rethink the solution in terms of a completely unknown data acquisition card.
You can simply develop the data acquisition system as if an oscilloscope were being used, but instead use a
CompuScope card to take advantage of its attractive price and performance.
Of course, CompuScope cards are much more than just another DSO under GPIB control:
•
Data transfer rates from CompuScope memory to PC memory or extended memory run at least 100 times
faster than a GPIB-DSO combination
•
CompuScope cards are easier to program, as Software Development Kits (SDKs) are available for C/C++,
MATLAB, LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
•
In case you do not want to program the CompuScope 85G, you can use the powerful GageScope
®
oscilloscope software to acquire, analyze and archive signals.
•
CompuScope cards are installed inside the CompactPCI
TM
chassis, so there is no external box such as a
DSO.
