Also, I/Q signals can be measured accurately due to thespecifications. Some of the advanced features of the PCI-443/ simultaneously sampled inputs of the dual channel PCI-444. 4 include: • External Sample Clock The external sample clock feature, coupled with the program- • HF Reject, LF Reject, and Bandpass Trigger Filters mable memory length feature, is essential for engineers testing • Programmable Trigger Gain and an "Arm" Input the characteristics of rotating machinery or for systems integra- • Baseband Sampling for I/F Strips tors building a network analyzer based on a peak detector.• Temperature Compensated Offset Voltage The BenchCom™ software bundle, provided with the PCI-443 And, three options are available for enhancing the measurement and the PCI-444, provides programmer's libraries, third-party performance of the PCI-443/4 : drivers, 16/32 bit DLLs, and the BenchTop™ Lite graphical user • Video Trigger with Line Counting interface for Windows NT, 98/95, and 3.X. Also available is the • Differential Inputs optional BenchTop Plus software package providing advanced• Master/Slave for Multi-Channels features including FFT, pulse analysis adhering to IEEE Stan- dard, boundaries testing, and the ATL interpreter. Test and Production engineers will benefit from the small size, excellent measurement characteristics, fast system throughput and extensive software support provided with the PCI-443/4. Resolution of 12 bits, an offset range inde- pendent of the vertical range, and a life- time free-upgrade software policy are just a few of the features making the PCI-443/ 4 a smart addition to your ATE test set. A sampling rate of 40 MSPS, 12 bit ADC resolution, flat frequency response, and overvoltage protection that works with the power on or off, combine to make the PCI- 443/4 an excellent choice for use in High Voltage Impulse testing. These same fea- tures, combined with the optional differ- ential inputs, make the PCI-443/4 ideal for measuring waveforms from motor con- trollers/starters, and power supplies.
