    49). Combining channels (Interleaving -INT option) When ordered with -INT option, the U5310A ADC card supports the capability of combining the converters (and their memories) from two channels to analyze a single input channel. With this feature the maximum sampling rate and the maximum amount of acquisition memory are doubled.

  • Page 12: Trigger

    The different trigger modes are detailed in section Trigger modes and time-stamps (page 50) Trigger impedance & coupling The U5310A has a fixed 50 Ω termination impedance with DC coupling. Trigger input bandwidths The bandwidth depends on the trigger source.
  • Page 13 Trigger precision and resolution The U5310A trigger time interpolator offers a resolution of 6 to 8 ps (nominal) and a precision of 15 ps RMS (nominal) . If comparing the initial trigger time T0 measured using the same waveform either used as channel input trigger or as an external trigger, the T0 position can be slightly different (especially if the waveform used as trigger has a slow edge).

  • Page 14: Calibration

    1.5   Calibration 1.5 Calibration The U5310A is factory calibrated and shipped with a calibration certificate. The internal calibration refers to the adjustment of ADC card internal parameters, corresponding to user selected parameters and required before starting acquisition. Internal calibration The internal calibration (or self-calibration) measures and adjusts the internal timing, gain and offset parameters between the ADCs and against a precise reference.
  • Page 15 The measured performance is then compared to published datasheet specifications. For each factory calibration, Acqiris tests the performance corresponding to all datasheet specifications, for every installed option. If needed, the DUT is adjusted and re-qualified ; ensuring it is in line with full specifications.

  • Page 16: Real-Time Processing Options

    To check which options and mode are present on your ADC card you can use the MD3 Software Front Panel from the: Windows Start Menu > Acqiris > MD3 > Acqiris MD3 SFP. Then use the menu Help > About. The field System Options gives the option list.

  • Page 18 Thanks to fast trigger rearm, the U5310A achieves very low “dead time” between the records of a multi-record acquisition. The “dead time” is the period after the end of an event when the card cannot accept a new trigger event. The re-arm time is provided in the U5310A's U5310A datasheet.
  • Page 19 The timebase range defines the time period over which data is being acquired. For example, the U5310A-M02-SR4 has a standard acquisition memory of 100 MS/ch and a maximum sampling rate of 5 GS/s (non-interleaved). Therefore, at the maximum sampling rate, the ADC card can record a signal over a time window of up to .
