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 |
Please click on one of the following links to get detailed information on the sucessor cards of the M2i.46xx series: M2I.4620, M2I.4621, M2I.4630, M2I.4631, M2I.4640, M2I.4641 
MI.45xx FamilyThe MI.45xx for the first time offers full 16 bit resolution synchronously on all channels at very high sampling rates. Every channel has its own amplifier and A/D converter. This eliminates the problems known from multiplexed systems like phase error between the channels or high crosstalk. Every input channel could be offset calibrated using the software. The user will easily find a matching solution from the six offered models. These versions are working with sampling rates of 200 kS/s, 500 kS/s or 1 MS/s. The boards have two or four channels and could also be updated to a multi-channel system using the internal synchronization bus. Model | 1 channel | 2 channels | 4 channels | | 200 kS/s | 200 kS/s | | | 200 kS/s | 200 kS/s | 200 kS/s | | 500 kS/s | 500 kS/s | | | 500 kS/s | 500 kS/s | 500 kS/s | | 1 MS/s | 1 MS/s | | | 1 MS/s | 1 MS/s | 1 MS/s |
