The PXD series features a complete line of PXI digitizers with bandwidths ranging from 150 MHz to 1 GHz. It also features high channel density with up to 8 channels in a single 3U eight slot PXI chassis. The combinations of these features allows for the capture of long complex signals, with excellent accuracy within the compact, rugged, modular architecture of PXI.

The PXD series digitizers are fully PXI compliant and based on the desktop computer industry standard PCI bus. Fast data transfer rates and improvements in test times are realized compared to traditional GPIB instruments. The plug and play functionality of these PXI digitizers provides ease of set-up and use.

The PXD series digitizers include several software tools to help you quickly get started and developing test software in LabView, CVI, Visual C++ or Visual Basic. The PXD series software includes an IVI-Scope compliant instrument driver, ActiveX control and a custom LeCroy PXD Getting Started application program for interactive control.

The LeCroy PXD series provides a cost efficient, space efficient, high performance digitizer solution for production test applications including:

  • Analytical Instruments

  • Disk Drive Testing

  • Communications Test Systems

  • Automotive

  • Aerospace and Defense

MULTI-MODULE SYNCHRONIZATION

The PXD digitizers support PXI extensions to the PCI bus for the following backplane clock and trigger capabilities:

1. External clock input for module synchronization to the 10 MHz TTL clock provided by the PXI backplane (PXI_CLK10).

2. Trigger inputs to support an asynchronous low skew (1-5 ns) trigger source broadcast on the PXI star trigger bus.

3. Asynchronous trigger I/O to support a single-line broadcast on the PXI trigger bus. The trigger input may come from an external source, or from a digitizer module. Digitizer modules provide a tri-state output to support this mode, with high impedance guaranteed on power-up.

SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY

The PXD hardware is compatible with the following software environments:

Operating Systems: Windows 2000/XP

Supported Drivers:

  • IVI-Scope Driver

  • LeCroy PXD Getting Started Application Program

  • ActiveX Control
