Ring buffer mode

8 Bit Mode

The digitizer allow to optionally reduce the resolution of the A/D samples from their native resolution down to 8 bit resolution, such that each sample will only occupy one byte in memory instead of the standard two bytes required. This does not only allow to store douple the amount of samples in the on-board memory, but also reduces the required bandwidth over the PCIe bus by half and also to the storage
devices, such as SSD or HDD. Using this mode much higer streaing speeds are reachable.

12 Bit Packed Mode

The digitizer allows to use a 12-bit packed mode where two 12-bit samples are stored in three bytes. This reduces needed data bandwidth while fully containing the full ADC resolution of 12-bit. Memory usage is reduced by 25% as well as data transfer bandwidth, allowing to continuosuly stream data faster.

Digital Pulse Generator Option (Optional)

The digital pulse generator option adds four internal independent pulse generators with programmable duty cycle, output frequency, delay and number of loops. These pulse generators can be triggered by software, hardware trigger or can trigger each other allowing to form complex pulse schemes to drive external equipment or experiments. The pulse generators can be outputted on the existing multi-XIO lines or can be used to trigger the instrument internally. Time resolution of the pulse generator depends on the cards type and the selected sampling rate and can be found in the technical data section.
