I am looking for a system to digitize analog signals which are pulses with amplitude from 0 V up to 1 V, rise time 200-600 ps, peak duration from 1-3 ns and noise rms 0.5-2 mV. Currently I am using a LeCroy WaveRunner 9254M and it works very well, but now I need between 12 and 32 channels so I am looking for something else. I don't need an oscilloscope (i.e. no need for a screen, knobs, processing/measuring functions, etc), just need an acquisition system to digitize these signals in a similar way than the 9254M and get the raw data into a PC.
A rough summary of what I need:
- Number of analog channels >= 12.
- Bandwidth > 2 GHz.
- Sampling rate >= 20 GS/s.
- Input range from 0 to 1 V.
- Vertical resolution ~ 8 bit.
- Time acquisition window ~ 100 ns.
I have found a few products that can do something like this but not many. So if you have suggestions that would be very much welcome.
I'm looking for some "black box" as much as possible "plug and play", don't want to develop my own acquisition system for this.
