Software Support
Windows drivers
The cards are delivered with drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8,
Windows 10 and Windows 11 (each 32 bit and 64 bit). Programming examples for Visual C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#,
Python, Java, Julia and IVI are included.
Linux Drivers
All cards are delivered with full Linux support. Pre compiled kernel modules are included for the most common
distributions like Fedora, Suse, Ubuntu LTS or Debian. The
Linux support includes SMP systems, 32 bit and 64 bit
systems, versatile programming examples for GNU C++,
Python and Julia, as well as the possibility to get the kernel driversources for your own compilation.
SBench 6
A base license of SBench 6, theeasy-to-use graphical operating
software for Spectrum cards, is included in the delivery. The base license makes it is possible to test
the card, display acquired data
and make some basic measurements. It's a valuable tool forchecking the card’s performanceand assisting with the unit’s initial
setup. The cards also come with a demo license for the SBench 6
professional version. This license gives the user the opportunity totest the additional features of the professional version with theirhardware. The professional version contains several advanced
measurement functions, such as FFTs and X/Y display, import andexport utilities as well as support for all acquisition modes including
data streaming. Data streaming allows the cards to continuously acquire data and transfer it directly to the PC RAM or hard disk.
SBench 6 has been optimized to handle data files of several
GBytes. SBench 6 runs under Windows as well as Linux (KDE,
GNOME and Unity) operating systems. A test version of SBench 6
can be downloaded directly over the internet and can run the professional version in a simulation mode without any hardware installed. Existing customers can also request a demo license for the
professional version from Spectrum. More details on SBench 6 canbe found in the SBench 6 data sheet.
Third-party products
Spectrum supports the most popular third-party software products
such as LabVIEW or MATLAB. All drivers come with detailed documentation and working examples are included in the delivery.
SCAPP – CUDA GPU based data processing
For applications requiringhigh performance signal
and data processing
Spectrum offers SCAPP(Spectrum’s CUDA Accessfor Parallel Processing).
The SCAPP SDK allows a
direct link between Spectrum digitizers, AWGs orDigital Data Acquisition
Cards and CUDA based GPU cards. Once in the GPU users canharness the processing power of the GPU’s multiple (up to 10000)
processing cores and large (up to 48 GB) memories. SCAPP uses
an RDMA (Linux only) process to send data at the full PCIe transfer
speed to and from the GPU card. The SDK includes a set of examples for interaction between the Spectrum card and the GPU card
and another set of CUDA parallel processing examples with easybuilding blocks for basic functions like filtering, averaging, data demultiplexing, data conversion or FFT. All the software is based on
C/C++ and can easily be implemented, expanded and modified
with normal programming skills.
Hardware features and options
PCI Express x16
The M5i series cards use a PCI
Express x16 Gen 3 connection.
They can be used in PCI Express
x16 slots with hosts supporting
Gen1, Gen2, Gen3 or Gen4.
Gen3 or Gen4 is needed to get full performance. The maximum sustained data transfer rate is more than 12.8 GByte/s per slot on systems with a PCIe payload size of 512. Physically supported slotsthat are electrically connected with less lanes can also be used with
the M5i series cards, but with reduced data transfer rates.
Connections
The cards are equipped with SMA connectors for the
analog signals as well as for clock input and output,
trigger input and four multi-function I/O connectors(X0, X1, X2, X3). These multi-function connectors canbe individually programmed to perform different
functions:• Trigger output• Status output (armed, triggered, ready, ...)• Synchronous digital inputs, being stored inside
the analog data samples• Asynchronous I/O lines• Logic trigger inputs
Input Amplifier
The analog inputs can be adapted to real world signals using awide variety of settings that are
individual for each channel. By
using software commands one
can select a matching input
range and the signal offset can be compensated.
Automatic on-board calibration
All of the channels are calibrated in factory before the board isshipped. To compensate for different variations like PC power supply, temperature and aging, the software driver provides routines
for an automatic onboard offset and gain calibration of all input
ranges. All the cards contain a high precision on-board calibrationreference.
M5i.3321 Time Domain Response Optimization
This option is only available for theM4i.3321-x16 (2 x 3.2 GS/s 12 Bit
Digitizer with 1 GHz bandwidth).
This option changes the hardware
input filter of the card. The -inptd option optimizes the input stage fortime domain measurement with amodified filter characteristic to minimize overshoot and undershoot on
step response. The standard filter is optimized for frequency domain measurements with a very steep cut-off frequency. This steep
cut-off frequency results in some overshoot/undershoot and ringing
when feeding the system with step signals.

Ring buffer mode
The ring buffer mode is thestandard mode of all oscilloscope instruments. Digitizeddata is continuously written
into a ring memory until atrigger event is detected. After the trigger, post-trigger samples arerecorded and pre-trigger samples can also be stored. The numberof pre-trigger samples available simply equals the total ring memory size minus the number of post trigger samples.
FIFO mode
The FIFO or streaming mode is designed for continuous data transfer between the digitizer card and the PC memory. When mounted
in a PCI Express x16 Gen 3 interface read streaming speeds of up
to 12.8 GByte/s are possible. The maximum speed has been measured using a state-of-the-art motherboard with a PCIe payload sizeof 512. The control of the data stream is done automatically by thedriver on interrupt request basis. The complete installed on-board
memory is used to buffer the data, making the continuous streaming
process extremely reliable.
8 bit Sample reduction (low-resolution) mode
The digitizer of the 33xx series allow to optionally reduce the resolution of the A/D samples from their native 12 bit resolution down
to 8 bit resolution, such that each sample will only occupy one byte
in memory instead of the standard two bytes required. This does not
only enhance the size of the on-board memory from 2 GSamples (8GSamples optionally) to effectively 4 GSamples (16 GSamples optionally), but also reduces the required bandwidth over the PCIe bus
and also to the storage devices, such as SSD or HDD. Using the 8
bit mode it is possible to stream data over the PCIe bus with 10
GS/s continuously!
Channel trigger
The digitizers offer a wide variety of trigger modes. These include
a standard triggering mode based on a signals level and slope, likethat found in most oscilloscopes. It is also possible to define a window mode, with two trigger levels, that enables triggering when
signals enter or exit the window. Each input has its own trigger circuit which can be used to setup conditional triggers based on logical AND/OR patterns. All trigger modes can be combined with are-arming mode for accurate trigger recognition even on noisy signals.
External trigger input
All boards can be triggered using an external analog or digital signal. The external trigger input has one comparator that can be used
for standard edge and level triggers.
Multiple Recording
The Multiple Recording
mode allows the recording ofseveral trigger events with anextremely short re-arming
time. The hardware doesn’t
need to be restarted in between. The on-board memory is divided in several segments of thesame size. Each of them is filled with data if a trigger event occurs.
Pre- and posttrigger of the segments can be programmed. The number of acquired segments is only limited by the used memory andis unlimited when using FIFO mode.

Firmware Option Block Average
The Block Average Module improves the fidelity of noisy repetitive signals. Multiple
repetitive acquisitions withvery small dead-time are accumulated and averaged.
Random noise is reduced by the averaging process improving thevisibility of the repetitive signal. Additionally, synchronous noise
can be reduced with a sample selection based on threshold detection prior to accumulation, for applications such as time of flightmass spectrometry (TOFMS).
The complete averaging process is done inside the FPGA of the digitizer generating no CPU load at all. The amount of data is greatly
decreased as well as the needed transfer bandwidth is heavily reduced.
Timestamp
The timestamp function
writes the time positions of
the trigger events in an extra
memory. The timestamps are
relative to the start of recording, a defined zero time, externally synchronized to a radio clock, an IRIG-B a GPS receiver.
Using the external synchronization gives a precise time relation for
acquisitions of systems on different locations.
External clock input and output
Using a dedicated connector a sampling clock can be fed in froman external system. Additionally it’s also possible to output the internally used sampling clock on a separate connector to synchronize external equipment to this clock.
Reference clock
The option to use a precise
external reference clock(normally 10 MHz) is necessary to synchronize theinstrument for high-quality
measurements with external equipment (like a signal source). It’s
also possible to enhance the quality of the sampling clock in thisway. The driver automatically generates the requested samplingclock from the fed in reference clock.
External Amplifiers
For the acquisition of extremely small voltage levels with ahigh bandwidth a series of external amplifiers is available.
Each of the one channel amplifiers is working with a fixed
input impedance and allows depending on the bandwidth- to select different amplification levels between x10 (20dB) up to x1000 (60 dB). Using the external amplifiers of the SPA series voltage levels in the uV
and mV area can be acquired.

Firmware Option Digital Pulse Generator
The digital pulse generator
option adds 4 internal independent digital pulse generators with programmable duty
cycle, output frequency, delay and number of loops.
These digital pulse generators
can be triggered by software,
hardware trigger or can trigger each other allowing to form complex pulse schemes to drive external equipment or experiments. The digital pulse generators canbe output on the existing multi-XIO lines (X0, X1, ...), to trigger otherpulse generators or can be used to trigger the instrument’s main trigger internally. Time resolution of the pulse generator depends onthe cards type and the selected sampling rate and can be found in
the technical data section.
The pulse generator option is a firmware option and can be later
installed on all shipped cards.
Star-Hub
The Star-Hub is an additional module
allowing the phase stable synchronization of up to 8 boards of a kind in
one system. Independent of the number of boards there is no phase delay
between all channels. The Star-Hub
distributes trigger and clock information between all boards to ensure allconnected boards are running withthe same clock and trigger. All trigger sources can be combined with alogical OR allowing all channels of all cards to be the trigger sourceat the same time.

Technical Data
Only figures that are given with a maximum reading or with a tolerance reading are guaranteed specifications. All other figures are typical characteristics that are given for
information purposes only. Figures are valid for products stored for at least 2 hours inside the specified operating temperature range, after a 30 minute warm-up, after running an on-board calibration and with proper cooled products.

Dynamic Parameters 10.0 GS/s 4.7 GHz models (8-bit Mode)
The below dynamic parameters are measured using the 8-bit mode which reduces the resolution in hardware from 12 bit to 8 bit to savememory and data transfer bandwidth. Due to the hardware resolution being below the ENOB of all models, the dynamic parameters are
similar for all models when switched to the 8-bit mode.

Dynamic parameters are measured at ±1 V input range (if no other range is stated) and 50 termination with the samplerate specified in the table. Measured parameters are averaged
20 times to get typical values. Test signal is a pure sine wave generated by a signal generator and a matching bandpass filter. Amplitude is >99% of FSR. SNR and RMS noise parameters
may differ depending on the quality of the used PC. SNR = Signal to Noise Ratio, THD = Total Harmonic Distortion, SFDR = Spurious Free Dynamic Range, SINAD = Signal Noise and Distortion, ENOB = Effective Number of Bits.
