Keysight M3100A PXIe Digitizers with Optional Real-Time Sequencing and FPGA Programming 100 MSa/s, 14 Bits, 4/8 Channels Data Sheet 02 | Keysight | M3100A PXIe Digitizer with Optional Real-Time Sequencing and FPGA Programming - Data Sheet Improve Your Measurement Fidelity, Signal Integrity and Measurement Throughput The M3102A are high-performance, high-bandwidth digitizers with an advanced data acquisition system (DAQ). Performance meets simplicity thanks to easy-touse programming libraries, real-time sequencing technology (HVI Hard Virtual Instrumentation), and graphical FPGA programming technology. Features 100 MSa/s simultaneous sampling, 14 bits, 4/8 channels, 100 MHz BW √ Advanced data acquisition system (DAQ) –– Flexible triggering (HW trigger, HVI trigger, SW trigger) –– Programmable cycles and data bursts to avoid PC saturation Optional HW programming for high-performance applications –– Real-time sequencing (HVI technology) –– FPGA programming –– Xilinx Kintex-7, 325T or 410T FPGA Up to 2 GB of onboard RAM (~ 1 Gsamples) Mechanical/interface –– 1 slot 3U (PXIe) –– Up to 1.6 GB/s transfer BW with P2P capabilities (PCIe Gen 2) –– Independent DMA channels for fast and efficient data transfer Applications General purpose digitizer Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)/automated test equipment (ATE) R&D/scientific research equipment Aerospace & defense (A/D) 100 MHz refer to the Front End bandwidth. This digitizer can operate in 1st and 2nd Nyquist zones (using undersampling technique), but its real-time BW is limited by Nyquist to some 50 MHz. As an example for a band-limited signal of 70 MHz with a 10 MHz signal bandwidth the aliased component will appear between 25 to 35 MHz (30 ± 5 MHz). √ 03 | Keysight | M3100A PXIe Digitizer with Optional Real-Time Sequencing and FPGA Programming - Data Sheet Programming technology and software tools Software programming –– Easy-to-use native programming libraries for most common languages: C, C++, Visual Studio, LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, and more Hardware programming (optional) –– Real-time sequencing (Hard Virtual Instrumentation or HVI technology) –– Graphical flowchart-style M3601A design environment (-HV1 option required on HW) –– Ultra-fast, fully-parallelized hard real-time execution –– Ultra-fast, time-deterministic decision-making –– Off-the-shelf inter-module synchronization & data exchange –– FPGA programming –– Graphical M3602A FPGA design environment (-FP1 option required on HW) –– No FPGA know-how required –– Include high-level to low-level design elements: off-the-shelf DSP blocks, MATLAB/ Simulink designs, Xilinx CORE Generator IP cores, Xilinx VIVADO/ISE projects, VHDL or Verilog code –– Ultra-fast, one-click compiling and on-the-fly programming No programming –– Ready-to-use SD1 SPF (software front panels) M31XX/M32XX/M33XX family product table Outputs (AWGs) Inputs (Digitizers) Product Type Speed (MSa/s) Bits Ch BW (MHz) M3202A AWG 1000 14 2/4 DC-400 M3201A AWG 500 16 2/4 DC-200 M3102A M3100A M3302A Combo 500 16 2 M3300A Combo 500 16 2/4 Speed (MSa/s) Bits Ch BW (MHz) Digitizer 500 Digitizer 100 14 2/4 DC-200 14 4/8 DC-100 DC-200 500 14 2 DC-200 DC-200 100 14 4/8 DC-100 04 | Keysight | M3100A PXIe Digitizer with Optional Real-Time Sequencing and FPGA Programming - Data Sheet Functional block diagram Channel 1 Channel 1 output Channel x Input settings Full scale, Z, coupling (as available) Channel x output Prescaler ÷ Data acquisition (DAQx) Analog trigger Channel n Channel n output Figure 1.
