Tested Motherboards

A list of motherboards being tested with Spectrum digitizers and waveform generators

digitzerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX - Embedded Server Option

The option turns the digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX in a powerful PC that allows to run own programs on a small and remote data acquisition system. The digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX is enhanced by more memory, a powerful CPU, a freely accessible internal SSD and a remote software development access method. The digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX can either run connected to LAN or it can run totally independent, storing data to the internal SSD. The original digitizerNETBOX/generatorNETBOX remote instrument functionality is still 100% available. Running the embedded server option it is possible to pre-calculate results based on the acquired data, store acquisitions locally and to transfer just the required data or results parts in a client-server based software structure. A different example for the digitizerNETBOX embedded server is surveillance/logger application which can run totally independent for days and send notification emails only over LAN or offloads stored data as soon as it?s connected again.

Cables and signal loss - comparison

Everyone needs cables to interconnect the measurements equipment between Digitizer, Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG), Amplifiers, Sensors and Device under Test (DUT). As long as signal frequencies stay low in the range of a few MHz or below any standard coaxial cable with the correct impedance is a good choice. As soon as signal frequencies raise the cable attenuation has to be taken into account.
