M2i - new generation of PC instruments


The new M2i card series generation is the successor of the former MI series. The M2i series offers some outstanding features:

Completely new developed base card
4 GByte memory with one slot width
Optimized low jitter clock section
Multi, Gate, ABA with programmable pre, posttrigger and timestamp
Zero phase delay synchronization
AND/OR conjunction of trigger/gate

The MI series of this type is still available for existing customers. Please click here to get detailled information on the card: MI.2020, MI.2021, MI.2030, MI.2031


M2i.20xx Family

The four models of the M2i.20xx series are designed for the fast and high quality data acquisition. Each of the up to four input channels has its own A/D converter and its own programmable input amplifier. This allows to record signals on all channels with 8 bit resolution without any phase delay between them. The inputs can be selected to one of seven input ranges by software and can be programmed to compensate an input offset of ±400% of the input range.

The extremely large on-board memory allows long time recording even with highest sampling rates. A FIFO mode is also integrated on the board. This allows to acquire data continuously for online processing in the PC or for data storage on hard disk.
