M2i - new generation of PC instrumentsThe 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.7210, MI.7211, MI.7220, MI.7221 
M2i.72xx FamilyThe M2i.72xx pattern generator series gives the user the possibility to generate digital data with a wide range of output levels. For every 4 bit the LOW and HIGH levels can be programmed from -2.0 V up to +10.0 V. Even at high speeds you are not limited concerning the maximum output swing. This enables the user to drive devices of nearly any logic family, like ECL, PECL, TTL, LVDS, LVTTL, CMOS or LVCMOS. The potentially necessary differential signals are generated in hardware, so that only one data bit is used for each pair of differential signals.
All outputs can be separately disabled allowing the easy connection with digital acquisition boards and the adaption to a wide range of test setups. The internal standard synchronisation bus allows synchronisation of several M2i.xxxx boards. Therefore the M2i.72xx board could be used as an enlargement to any digital or analog board.
