Description
The DT5571 is a high-performance waveform digitizer featuring 14-bit resolution and a 200 MS/s sampling rate on a single analog input. Designed to meet the needs of modern acquisition setups, it combines precision, speed and flexibility in a streamlined desktop form factor.
Two operating modes are supported: Scope Mode for raw waveform recording, and DPP Mode for real-time on-board signal processing. Built around a Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC with an Open FPGA, its firmware is fully user-configurable with Sci-Compiler — no HDL coding required.
Key Features:
- 1 analog input, 14-bit @ 200 MS/s, 50 Ω / 1 kΩ programmable impedance
- Scope & DPP modes with internal memory buffer
- Open FPGA — user firmware via Sci-Compiler
- 60 MHz bandwidth, programmable gain (×1 to ×100), full-scale range 0.015–1.5 Vpp
- USB 2.0 and 10/100 Mb Ethernet interfaces
- Compatible with WaveDump2 and CoMPASS
- Desktop form factor
Operating Modes
- Scope Mode — raw waveform acquisition and recording into the internal memory buffer, for signal inspection and offline analysis.
- DPP Mode — real-time on-board digital signal processing in the FPGA (filtering, energy/charge extraction, timing), for reduced-data, high-throughput acquisition.
