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.6011MI.6012MI.6021MI.6022MI.6030MI.6031MI.6033MI.6034


M2i.60xx Family

The M2i.60xx series offer 8 different versions of arbitrary waveform generators for the PCI bus. With these boards it is possible to generate free definable waveforms on several channels synchronously. There are up to four channels on one board with a maximum sampling rates of 125 MS/s. The internal standard Syncbus allows the setup of synchronous multi channel systems with higher channel numbers. It is also possible to combine the arbitrary waveform generator with other boards of the M2i product family like analogue or digital acquisition boards.

With the up to 2 GSample large on-board memory long waveforms could be generated even with high sampling rates. The memory could also be used as a FIFO buffer to make continuously data transfer from PC memory or hard disk.
