Standalone LXI Digitizers Boast High Resolution

Jan. 26, 2009

DESIGNED FOR WAVEFORM ANALYSIS, the L4532A two-channel digitizer and L4534A four-channel digitizer offer simultaneous sampling to 20 MSamples/s with 16-b resolution. These digitizers include isolated input channels that can measure up to 250 V. The LXI digitizers are specifically aimed at applications that require electromechanical device control for product test or characterization. They include on-board "scope-like" measurements, such as Vmin/Vmax, Vp-p, frequency, and rise/fall time, that can be applied to a selected portion or the overall waveform. On-board measurements save post-processing time and minimize the need to transfer and store large amounts of data. The Agilent L4532A and L4534A include USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. In addition, they can be remotely operated from any browser by connecting to the built-in web page. P&A: $6500 for the L4532A and $8500 for the L4534A; available now.
