Is there any PXI oscilloscope card, with sampling rate 1Gs/s or higher

[Alexander J.]

Hi all
In my test lab, I am using TDS684B oscilloscope. Is there any PXI card which can perform the same function as TDS684B? I searched the NI catalogue and they don�t have 1Gs/s sampling rate scope. Is there any other vendor for PXI and may be they might have. Please give me suggestion?
Many thanks.

Check out the products from Acqiris (www.acqiris.com). I am using their 500Ms/s cards and I'm very happy with them. They've got PCI, PXI, and Compact PCI models that go up to 4 Gs/s if I remember correctly.

Take a look at the LeCroy (www.lecroy.com) PXD Series of 3U PXI digitizers. They have up to 2.5 GS/s.

LeCroy has a range of 1GS/s PXI digitizer with varying bandwidths. Their web site is:

Let me know how it goes.

I almost forgot about Gage (http://www.gage-applied.com/). They're a subsidiary of Tektronix. I'm using one of the low bandwidth cards but I think they're come some very fast ones as well.

I would say that Acqiris is worth a look. They have very good software support for their hardware. One can actually simulate hardware using they software while debugging at home or consulting. I have also used Gage and that product was pretty pathetic in terms of software support and hardware flexibility (it was 4yrs ago so perhaps that has changed)
