Ultra High Speed, low power, and compact Computer Based Digitizer cards as well as a family of the fastest Arbitrary Waveform Generator cards.

“Chase Scientific was originally founded as a consulting firm in 1987, specializing in advanced high speed analog and digital communication channels for the magnetic storage industry.”

Chase Scientific – data acquisition and signal generation

Ax14000 – 4.0 GS/sec, 12-Bit, Arbitrary Waveform Generator (USB interface) – The 4.0 GSPS, DAx14000 is a highly versatile PC controlled Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

Chase Scientific - data acquisition and signal generation

It incorporates many advanced features such as programmable segment sizes, looping, and individual segment triggering. Since the data downloaded to the card can be arbitrary almost any waveform that the user can imagine can be created.

NI 9792 WSN Programmable Gateway

 

NI 9792 WSN Programmable Gateway

RT Controller with Integrated Gateway for WSN—The WSN‑9792 is a programmable RT controller with an integrated gateway for NI wireless sensor network (WSN) devices.

You can mount the NI 9792 device on a panel, a 35 mm DIN rail, in an enclosure, or on a desktop. Use the DIN-Rail mounting method if you already have a DIN rail configuration or if you need to be able to quickly remove the device.

The NI 9792 has an RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices such as displays or input devices. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial port. For more information about the Serial VIs, refer to the LabVIEW Help.

The NI 9792 supports common USB mass storage devices such as USB Flash drives and USB-to-IDE adapters formatted with FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.

The NI WSN system is built on an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless mesh network. The 802.15.4 radio in each NI WSN device provides for low-power communication of measurement data across a large network of devices.

PC–based test equipment and data acquisition.. Award-winning range of easy-to-use oscilloscope, automotive diagnostics, and data acquisition products.

PicoScope PC Oscilloscope and Data Acquisition

Data Loggers, Automotive Diagnostics, Temperature and Humidity Monitoring.

PicoScope 4224 & 4424

The Picoscope 4424 and 4224 offer both a high resolution (12 bits) and a high DC accuracy (1%) making them an excellent choice for noise, vibration, precision electronics and mechanical analysis.

Pico Technology oscilloscopes are small, light and portable. In the lab they take up the minimum of bench space while for the engineer on the move they are small enough to fit in a bag with your laptop.

PicoScope PC Oscilloscope and Data Acquisition

The PicoScope 4424, 4224 and 4224 IEPE are supplied with software, documentation and USB cable. For the 4224 and 4424 a kit also containing oscilloscope probes and a carry case is available.

A USB connected, PC hosted oscilloscope and spectrum analyser with PC based application software.

Cleverscope Model CS328A Oscilloscope

The cleverscope CS328A is a USB 2.0 connected mixed signal PC oscilloscope which brings benefits to the user that are unavailable from traditional stand-alone oscilloscopes .

Cleverscope - USB mixed signal oscilloscope

Cleverscope has complex triggering capability. Find a glitch, runt or a slow rise time problem by setting the dual triggers appropriately. Can your present scope trigger on a negative runt occurring in 0.1% of pulses?

Two 10, 12 or 14 bit analog channels sampling simultaneously at 100 MSa/sec. AC or DC coupled.

USB 2.0 Interface to the PC or 10/100Mbit ethernet, depending on option

Gain automatically set from 20 mV FSD to +/-200V FSD by choosing graph view and probe switch setting.

Offset automatically set to correspond to the selected amplitude axis view. As an example a graph with amplitude axis of 2.40 to 2.42V automatically chooses a 20mV range offset by +2.40V – good for looking at small signals in single supply op-amp applications.

Analog triggering of the waveform in view with a resolution of 1% of the display height. The analog trigger may optionally be conditioned with a low pass, high pass or noise filter.
