Another One Rides the Bus

Data acquisition systems are available based upon a huge variety of interfaces. Ethernet, PCI, USB, PXI, PCI Express, Firewire, CompactFlash, and even the venerable GPIB, RS-232/485, and ISA bus are all popular. Which ones are the most appropriate for a given application may be far from obvious.

When 8-bit Scopes Aren't Enough
Eight-bit scopes are ubiquitous measurement workhorses, but for many applications you

might benefit from flexible alternative instruments that let you tune bandwidth, resolution,

sampling rate, and recording time to the specific needs of your application. The November 30

Webcast "When 8-bit scopes aren't enough" shows you how to tailor instrument performance for

long acquisition times or high sampling rates, and it even describes a dual-capture scheme that

lets you optimize both. View the archived Webcast now.
