Newport Beach, California (PRWEB) December 18, 2009
Signatec Inc. today announced the PX1500-4 high-speed digitizer, the most advanced PCIe-based wideband A/D board on the market. The PX1500-4 captures four synchronized channels at sampling rates up to 1.5 GHz, or two synchronized channels up to an amazing 3 GHz when interleaving the ADC data. 2 GB of on-board memory configured as a large FIFO and a PCIe x8 bus ensures Signatecs PX1500-4 can continuously sustain long recordings at up to 1.4 GB/s through the PCIe x8 bus (both mechanical and electrical) to PC disk storage without any break in the analog record.
