PC - Instrumentation

Since 1989, Spectrum has led the way in the manufacture of high-speed and high-resolution PC instruments for PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express, PXI and CompactPCI (CPCI) busses. Years of experience as a developer and producer are feed in the products forming robust instruments for industrial needs.

Spectrum has focused its business on the high-speed A/D, D/A and Digital I/O range with sampling rates between 100 kS/s, 1 MS/s, 10 MS/s, 50 MS/s, 100 MS/s, 200 MS/s and 500 MS/s. Fast amplifiers and high-quality converters allow the acquisition and replay of high-frequency signals. As a result of the substantial on-board memory even fast signals may be recorded for long time with a high precision.

The boards are also available in a completely installed system. We offer a wide range of standard systems, 19" industrial systems or mobile PCs. For the mobile use together with a notebook, a range of high-performance docking stations that can hold up to three PCI boards is also available.

M3i.32xx - Ultra fast 12 Bit 500 MS/s Digitiser
Spectrum introduces the M3i.3240, the fastest monolithic 12 bit A/D converter card world-wide. Using only one ADC per channel with no interleaving guarantees best signal quality. Compared to 8 bit digitisers this card has 16 times higher resolution and an outstanding SNR of 63 dB at +/-1 V range. [ more... ]
