TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Full signal (10V) at Nyquist frequency resolves to 12 bits at 1.25 (1.00) MHz input, 2.8 (2.0) MHz output, and to 16 bits at 650 kHz input, 500 kHz output [() refers to multi-channel rate]. Measured max small-signal rate = 1.5 MHz input/output. Multi-channel crosstalk = 11 bits at 1.33 MHz.
2. Input operates at 500 kHz at all signal levels. Output operates at 200 kHz for +/-10 V signals and 500 kHz for +/-100 mV signals.
3. Software licenses are single-computer licenses, and permit operation on one computer system at a time.
4. Multiple software licenses receive a 25% discount on 2nd and additional licenses for all products except direct-to-disk I/O.
5. I/O boards provide a maximum analysis bandwidth equal to 50% of the board's sample rate.
6. Except where noted, I/O boards can sample multiple channels at a per-channel sample rate = (total sample rate) / (number of channels). Thus a 500-kHz board can acquire 2 channels at 250 kHz per channel.
7. I/O boards do not contain anti-alias filters (AAF's), except where noted. AAF's may be necessary during acquisition or playback, depending on signal bandwidth and sample rate.
8. I/O panels with 8 input channels are available by special order.
9. The PCMCIA desktop adapter card allows PCMCIA analog I/O cards to be operated in a desktop and requires one PCI slot.
10. RTS 5 provides scrolling, measurement and editing of unlimited-length sound files and can exchange measurements and signals with SIGNAL. Live scrolling sound acquisition and playback will be added to the RTS in the future.
