The PCI-441 Single Channel Digital Oscilloscope and the PCI-442 Dual Channel Digital Oscilloscope have a maximum sample rate of 40 MSPS, a 20 MHz Bandwidth, and 10 bits of resolution, and they fit in one ISA expansion slot. Whether in an oscilloscope application, or a data acquisition application, the PCI-441 and the PCI-442 provide high performance in a small package at a reasonable price. Other benefits of these oscilloscopes include a 64 kSample waveform memory, burst mode, seven voltage ranges from 2V/div down to 20 mV/div (other choices are available), offset control, AC/DC coupling, external sample clock and an internal clock circuit that utilizes advanced Direct Digital Synthesis technology.

Seven Voltage Ranges - Internal and External Analog Trigger - 10 Bits - 40 MSPS - 64 kSamples/channel - 20 MHz Bandwidth

A video frame is compared to a pass/fail boundary using the PCI-442 Digital Oscilloscope and the BenchTop™ Plus User Interface.

The combination of features and specifications of the PCI-441 and PCI-442 are useful in applications such as motor testing, video analysis, explosive testing, gyroscope monitoring, ATE systems, functional test systems, ignition waveform acquisition, power line disturbance testing, and many others. And, these oscilloscopes include the BenchCom™ and BenchTop™ Lite software packages. Several options are available for these oscilloscopes. One, or both, of the inputs can be ordered as a differential-ended input. Differential inputs are useful for rejecting common-mode signals and for measuring voltages that are not referenced to ground. As an example, in an impedance analyzer application, one input can be single-ended for measuring the DUT voltage, while the other input can have the optional differential input and be used to measure the voltage drop across a sense resistor in order to measure the DUT current. Then, using the XY display mode, a V/I (i.e. impedance) plot can be displayed. The second option available for the PCI-441 and the PCI-442 is the Master/Slave option. Master/Slave allows the measurement timebase and trigger circuits of multiple oscilloscopes and generators to be synchronized reducing measurement jitter. And, the PCI-442 can be ordered with the optional Video Trigger.
