ZT431PCI Digitizer / Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)

[Kay Kay]

Hello, I am curious to find some information about the Digital Acquisition Board ZT431PC (http://www.ztec-inc.com/zt431pci.php). Did any one ever used this board for thier sampling process. From the information that is available on the company website, they said that "The module’s excellent analog signal dynamic range and very low noise enable the acquisition of video, IF, RF and other analog signals where very fine resolution is necessary". In the website, they said that "The instrument comes with a complete LabVIEW™ software interface that allows the user to begin acquiring and measuring waveforms immediately". Also, if you are really interested, you can find the information about this board on the NI alliances website (http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niaa.ind_pro_view?p_all_id=2454&p_display_all_id=2468). I would like to know if anyone had ever worked on the software. I am curious if this board really helps in acquiring 200Msps sampling rate. Does this board has a Digital Trigger which will be more helpful for timing Acquisition? I would appreciate if any one who had already worked with this board could help me.

Thank you,

Regards,

Kay

Hi Kay,

You may want to check out some of National Instruments' High-Speed Digitizers.  You will find that along with seamless integration with LabVIEW that the boards we offer can have some of the following specs:

• 100 MS/s real-time sampling, 8-bit, 100 MHz bandwidth
• 1 kS/s to 64 MS/s, 14-bit; 10 kHz to 36 MHz bandwidth
• 20 MS/s, 8-bit, 15 MHz bandwidth
• Star Trigger receiver and controller
• Multi-instrument synchronization
• Analog and digital triggering

If you have any other questions on these products myself or another person on the forums may be able to help you.  As far as the Digital Acquisition Board ZT431PC goes you may want to contact their technical support for further questions.

Hello Sir, Actually I Digitizer that I have is ZT430PXI (http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niaa.ind_pro_view?p_all_id=2454&p_display_all_id=2468). I am trying to work on this. My main goal in this experiment is to start acquisition with a Trigger. I am trying to figure out how this works (basically). In case if I need any help, I will post the appropriate question here so that the persons who have already worked on this may help me. Thanks for your reply!
