Benefits of Deep Memory in High-Speed Digitizers

In many cases, measurement quality depends on the ability to take a sustained acquisition while maintaining high sampling rates. In these cases, the amount of digitizer acquisition memory determines the fidelity of the acquired signal. High-speed digitizers with deep onboard acquisition memory have the ability to take enhanced time and frequency-domain measurements. Several common applications require that you capture data for long periods of time while maximizing the sampling rate of the digitizer, such as:

• Signal modulation analysis
• Jitter performance characterization
• Pulse height measurements
• Video signal tests

As always, measurement system power is key to characterizing product performance, analyzing system response,
and detecting defects. National Instruments high-speed digitizers deliver improved time and frequency measurements
with their deep onboard memory options.
