Digitizers

A digitizer is an instrument capable to record analog signal.  A digitizer can replace with lot of advantages a standalone oscilloscope in the following situation:

• Digitizer can support a larger number of channels, up to few hundred synchronous channels is possible.
• A digitizer is smaller and can be easily embedded
• A digitizer offer higher resolution than a standard oscilloscope (8-bit most of the time), with 12 and up to 16-bits.
• A digitizer, thanks to the PCI Express can transfer for further processing, data to a computer at up to 4GBytes/Sec.
• A digitizer will be also view as a smart probe with possibilities to embedded real time custom process into local FPGA.
