   TR122 Two Channel 12-Bit 200 MS/s Transient Recorder

The TR122 Transient Recorder is a high performance two channel transient waveform digitizing instrument in a single slot 3U CompactPCI module, capable of digitizing to 12 bits at rates up to 200 MS/s on each channel independently. Each channel includes an independent analog front end and analog-to-digital converter, providing superior interchannel isolation and full bandwidth availability on all channels. The TR122 and included software provide a turnkey transient measurement solution, while included software source code and drivers provide powerful system level integration options.

      Principal Features:
 

-200 MS/s sample rate

-12-Bit resolution

-Two million sample static memory per channel

-100 MHz bandwidth

-Low noise operation

-1 Mohm Input Impedance

-Input ranges +/-0.5 volts to +/-250 volts in 9 ranges

-Full scale offset adjustment

-Analog triggering from either channel or external trigger

-Programmable post trigger sample count

Samples are recorded to a circular buffer which stops filling after recording a specified number of samples after the trigger event. This feature allows for adjustment of recording capacity for the level of interest in samples before the trigger event.

-Segmentable memory

A segmented memory architecture and internal timer allow multiple sequential events to be captured and time stamped without the need to read data between events. The sample memory is divisible into segments of as little as 64 KSamples. The internal timer is used to record a count with each trigger event which can be used to determine the relative time of multiple trigger events.

-Turnkey transient recorder software for Windows

The software provides an oscilloscope look and feel for a familiar and easy start to transient recorder operation with one or multiple modules. The application coexists seamlessly with other instrument system components and can often be used as the only interface to the transient recorder.

-Fully documented API provided as a Windows DLL

The API can be directly accessed from programming environments such as C, Visual Basic, and LabView for adaptation to a larger instrument system.

-Software source code provided

All software is provided with source code for the possibility of adaptation to other environments or addressing custom applications. The API is written in C and the application layer is written in Visual Basic. The source code can be helpful in understanding the API layer for adaptation to other application programming environments.
