Hytec unveils new VME Transient Recorders with five modes of operation.

Hytec Electronics have unveiled two new VME Transient Recorders, the VTR2535-T 8-channel 12-bit 10MHz and VTR2536-T 8-channel 14-bit 10MHz modules. These new modules simultaneously digitize the voltage signals present on eight inputs and record the data sequentially in the on-board SRAM. There are two basic variants one storing up to 128K samples per channel and the other up to 512K samples per channel.

Acquisition is started either by an external signal or a software command and is synchronised to either an external or internal clock. Acquisition is halted either by a software stop command, a triggered stop or when the memory is full. Any of these events can generate interrupts. The sample clock may be internally generated at programmed rates of 1, 2, 5, 10 MHz or provided by an external clock. The external trigger input signal can be programmed to act as a simple trigger (pulse input) or as a triggered start and stop signal (using signal levels).

"The different modes of operation will appeal to system builders" says Richard Tatham Managing Director of Hytec.
