Digitiser multi channel card with 8 channels
GaGe's multi-channel Octopus digitizer cards are now available to order.
The Cobra family of digitizers is available with 1 or 2 digitizing channels, sampling speeds of up to 2 GS/s, and up to 1 GHz input bandwidth.
With up to 4 GS of on-board acquisition memory per card, Cobra digitizers are ideal for customers who need to acquire either large amounts of data simultaneously over long periods of time or an extreme number of short data bursts.
For applications that require several simultaneous digitizing channels, it is possible to interconnect up to 8 Cobra digitizers in a single chassis and achieve true multi-card synchronisation thanks to Gage's advanced internal clock distribution technology.

On-board finite impulse response filter
Gage Applied Technologies has introduced new on-board Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter FPGA Technology in its high-resolution 14-bit digitizers.
Using short and controlled timing signal propagation paths and automatic timing calibration, this technology provides far superior inter-card time skew and jitter performance as compared to alternate external synchronisation techniques.
Similar to Gage's other lines of next-generation digitizers, such as the multi-channel OctopusTM CompuScope family, Cobra digitizers also provide advanced timing features such as Trigger Time-stamping, Clock In/Clock Out, Trig In/Trig out, and 10 MHz Reference Clocking.
Powerful eXpertTM on-board firmware options such as Signal Averaging are also available.
The Cobra family of digitizers replaces Gage's ever-popular CompuScope 82G digitizers.
Offering more features at a better price demonstrates Gage's commitment to their customers' long-term success and creates a competitive advantage.
"This year marks our 20th anniversary at Gage," Gillas adds.
"We have been in this business for a long time, and we will continue to design and develop new products that take advantage of the latest technological advancements to satisfy our customers' challenging requirements".
Gage's Cobra family of digitizers is compatible with GageScope oscilloscope software that allows users to acquire and analyse signals without writing a single line of programming code.
Gage also offers powerful Software Development Kits (SDKs) for C/C number, MATLAB, or LabVIEW and other popular programming environments for users that want to create their own custom software applications.
