Strategic quadruples memory on instrument cards
-- Test & Measurement World, 4/24/2008 11:45:00 AM
As of May 1, 2008, Strategic Test will equip all of its PCI and PCI Express waveform digitizer and waveform generator cards with 256 Mbytes of onboard memory as a standard feature. With this larger memory, it will be possible to record a 200-Msample/s, 8-bit signal for more than 1 s, compared to only 320 ms for a card with 64 Mbytes of memory. The larger memory applies to more than 100 models in Strategic’s product lineup.
“We believe that Strategic Test is the first PCI instrument company to provide 256 Mbytes as standard,” commented Bob Giblett, president. “Other manufacturer’s cards are typically equipped with 32 Mbytes, so if the user needs to record or generate longer signals, they normally have to pay a heavy premium for a memory upgrade. This means in many cases the Strategic Test cards will offer terrific value.”
Prices for the PCI and PCI Express instrument cards start at $3499. OEM and volume discounts are available.
