Teledyne SP Devices ADQ14 multichannel 14-bit digitisers

The Teledyne SP Devices ADQ14 is a high-performance 14-bit data acquisition platform that offers complete and versatile solutions for advanced measurements. It comes with a set of hardware, firmware and software features that help simplify integration. Every aspect of the measurement process is included, from the detector to real-time signal processing, data visualisation and more. Applications include LiDAR, radar, wireless communication, high-speed data recording, test and measurement, ultrasonic ranging, time-of-flight scientific instruments, swept-source OCT, Thomson scattering and more.

The 14-bit digitiser family is available with one, two or four channels and a 0.5, 1 or 2 GSPS sampling rate per channel. It comes in six different form factors and is available with either AC or DC coupling (ADQ14AC and ADQ14DC) and variable DC bias. Form factors include USB 3.0, 10 GbE, PCIe (dual-slot) and SSPCIe (single-slot PCIe), PXIe and MTCA.4. This simplifies retrofitting in existing systems as a drop-in replacement.

Selected features include flexible choice of sampling rate, channel count and multiboard synchronisation; programmable analog front-end supporting high-input bandwidth; open FPGA for real-time DSP and standalone application-specific firmware; up to 6 GBps data transfer rate; optional peer-to-peer streaming to GPU; and a wide selection of form factors to help simplify integration. The software development kit is available both for Windows and Linux, with a number of host interface options.
