It is also possible to do FPGA-based 4096-point FFT on acquired data. This is useful for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) related applications. RF Signal Recording & Analysis Unlike other products on the market, ATS9360 does not use interleaved sampling. Each input has its own 12-bit, 1.8 GSPS ADC chip. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Ultrasonic & Eddy Current NDT/NDE Terabyte Storage Oscilloscope High-Resolution Oscilloscope Spectroscopy Multi-Channel Transient Recording Optional variable frequency external clock allows operation from 1.8 GHz down to 300 MHz (or 75 MHz for screened ATS9360 cards), making ATS9360 an ideal waveform digitizer for OCT applications. Users can capture data from one trigger or a burst of triggers. Users can also stream very large datasets continuously to PC memory or hard disk. ATS9360 is supplied with AlazarDSO software that lets the user get started immediately without having to go through a software development process. Users who need to integrate the ATS9360 in their own program can purchase a software development kit, ATS-SDK, for C/C++, C#, Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW for both Windows and Linux operating systems. All of this advanced functionality is packaged in a low power, half-length PCI Express card.

1.8 GS/s 12-Bit PCIe Gen2 Digitizer PCI Express Bus Interface On-Board Acquisition Memory According to PCIe specification, an 8-lane board can be plugged into any 8-lane or 16-lane slot, but not into a 4-lane or 1-lane slot. As such, ATS9360 requires at least one free 8-lane or 16-lane slot on the motherboard. Maximum Sustained Transfer Rate ATS9360 interfaces to the host computer using an 8-lane PCI Express bus. Each lane operates at 5.0 Gbps (Gen 2). The physical and logical PCIe x8 interface is provided by an on-board FPGA, which also integrates acquisition control functions, memory...

1.8 GS/s 12-Bit PCIe Gen2 Digitizer Continuous AutoDMA can easily acquire data to PC host memory at the maximum possible rate allowed by the motherboard. This is the recommended mode for very long signal recording. TRIGGER INPUT(S) CAPTURE Triggered Streaming AutoDMA NPT AutoDMA is designed specifically for these applications. By only storing post-trigger data, the memory bandwidth is optimized and the entire onboard memory acts like a very deep FIFO. Note that a DMA is not started until RecordsPerBuffer number of records (triggers) have been acquired and written to the on-board memory....

1.8 GS/s 12-Bit PCIe Gen2 Digitizer causing an event message to be sent to the application so it can start consuming data. Once the data has been consumed, the application can post the data buffer back on the queue. This can go on indefinitely. ATS9360 External Clock option provides an SMA input for an external clock signal, which should have a high slew rate. Signal levels, specified in detail on page 7, must be respected. One of the great advantages of Async DMA is that almost 95% of CPU cycles are available for data processing, as all DMA arming is done on an event-driven basis. Input...

1.8 GS/s 12-Bit PCIe Gen2 Digitizer Firmware version 19.09+, driver version 5.10.6+ and SDK 7.1.3+ are required to take advantage of OCT Ignore Bad Clock. For existing customers, these firmware and driver versions are available for download from AlazarTech’s website free of charge. The purchase of an ATS-SDK license includes a subscription that allows users to download ATS-SDK updates from the AlazarTech website for period of 12 months from the date of purchase. See www.alazartech.com/en/technology/oct-ignorebad-clock/ for more information on this technology. Customers who want to download...

1.8 GS/s 12-Bit PCIe Gen2 Digitizer ATS-GPU supports 64-bit Windows 64-bit and Linux for CUDA®-based development. Windows support for ATS9360 includes Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server® 2019, and Windows Server 2016. As Windows Server 2019 and 2016 are seldom used by our customers, they are expected to work but are not regularly tested with each software release. If there are issues related to Windows Server 2016 or 2019, tech support may not be as rapid as for other operating systems. Microsoft mainstream support ended in 2018 for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2. As such,...

1.8 GS/s 12-Bit PCIe Gen2 Digitizer RoHS Compliance ATS9360 is fully RoHS compliant, as defined by Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2015 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. All manufacturing is done using RoHS-compliant components and lead-free soldering. ATS9360 conforms to the following standards: Electromagnetic Emissions: CISPR 32:2015 / EN 55032:2015 (Class A): Multimedia Equipment (MME) Radio disturbance characteristics. Limits and method of measurement....
