DynamicSignals / GaGe CompuScope 85G WaveformDigitizer Card Overview
Features:
- 5 GS/s A/D Sampling on Two Simultaneous Channels
- 500 MHz Bandwidth
- 8 Bit Resolution
Oscilloscope-like analog amplifiers provide low noise, flexible signal conditioning for a wide variety of applications.
The CompuScope 85G uses advanced FISO (Fast In Slow Out) technology from Tektronix to provide two simultaneous, high-quality input channels with wide analog bandwidth and blazing sample rate.
An on-chip clocking circuit combined with a robust calibration method ensures timebase accuracy and long-term thermal stability of sampling rates.
FISO technology uses a patented technique of performing analog sampling using standard semiconductor technology.
Samples are stored as electric charge in each of the 10,000 on-chip cells. The number of cells in the sampling chip determines the maximum record length a FISO based sampling system can support.
Once the analog sampling has finished, a slow speed, very accurate 9-bit A/D converter is used to convert the stored analog values into digital code.
A dedicated signal processor chip is then used to perform error correction on the digitized data before making the corrected, 8-bit data available to the user.
Hence the name: Fast In, Slow Out.
Due to the FISO based nature of the CompuScope 85G, the acquisition memory is limited to 10,000 points. This memory can be used as a circular buffer for storage of pre- and post-trigger data.
It is also possible for users to select fewer than 10,000 points of acquisition for shorter records.
The data stored in the CompuScope 85G memory can be transferred to the PC memory for post-processing, display or storage to hard disk without any interface bus (no GPIB or IEEE 488 bus required).
The GaGe CompuScope 85G WaveformDigitizer Card may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

DynamicSignals / GaGe CompuScope 85G WaveformDigitizer Card Description
Functions
Dual-channel high-speed digitizer card with up to 8 GS/s sampling rate, 12-bit vertical resolution, and 2 GHz analog bandwidth; offers real-time data processing capabilities with on-board FPGA; connects via PCIe interface; enables continuous streaming of digitized signals to GPU for intensive processing; supports external clock and trigger inputs for precise timing synchronization; used in applications such as radar signal intelligence, RF communications analyzation, and high-energy physics research.
Platforms
A high-speed, multi-channel waveform digitizer designed for host-based PCI Express (PCIe) or PCI bus architectures in industrial or laboratory PCs. It features precision analog-to-digital conversion, with signal input via BNC connectors, external trigger, and clock synchronization capabilities. Digital data streaming occurs directly to host memory via DMA, managed by device drivers and SDKs. Operates as a critical component in non-destructive testing, radar/lidar systems, high-energy physics instrumentation, and transient capture applications requiring rapid, high-resolution data acquisition.
Applications
High-speed waveform digitization for radar signal processing, electronic warfare testing, software-defined radio development, ultrafast laser pulse characterization, high-frequency communication system analysis, spectrum analyzer applications, oscilloscope replacement in automated test equipment, transient signal capture in power electronics, RF component testing, and real-time digital signal processing applications requiring gigahertz sampling rates with precise timing and triggering capabilities.
Accessories
Requires PCIe mainframe or compatible chassis for operation. Interfaces include one 68-pin VHDCI connector for analog inputs with 50 ohm and 1 MOhm termination options. Additional connectors: 10 pin auxiliary connector for triggering and synchronization signals (TTL/CMOS levels), and a standard mini USB for firmware updates and control. Key accessories: 68-pin VHDCI cable for signal input, external reference clock input if synchronization with other equipment is needed.
Interfaces
PCIe x8, analog signal input via four front panel SMA connectors for channels 1-4 supporting 50 Ohm impedance with 8-bit resolution and up to 5 GS/s sampling rate, external trigger input via SMA connector, external clock input via SMA connector, multiple card synchronization through LVDS interface connectors, digital I/O via 20-pin header connector (LVTTL compatible)
Specifications
High-speed PCI Express x8 digitizer card featuring 5 GS/s sampling rate with 8-bit resolution on dual channels or 10 GS/s on single channel. Incorporates onboard FPGA for real-time signal processing and 2 GB acquisition memory with sustained streaming to host PC at 1.6 GB/s. Provides 50 Ohm SMA input connectors with 1 GHz analog bandwidth, programmable DC offset, and software-selectable input ranges. Supports external clock/trigger via SMA connectors with multiple trigger modes including edge, window, and hysteresis. Enables multi-card synchronization for increased channel count. Common applications include radar signal analysis, ultrasonic NDT, LIDAR systems, and time-domain spectroscopy.

What Customers Are Saying
- Kamal A.
We found Artisan when our PXI Chassis broke, which shut down our production line. We were up and running in less than a day because they shipped overnight and talked our tech guys through the installation over the phone. ATG saved the day big time!
- Shelby G.
The customer service representative was great. She couldn’t answer my question but connected me to an engineer who made sure I was ordering the right part. Shipping was fast too.
- Jake S. Google
Excellent company, employees, and service! Tim, Ann, and Todd are stellar to work with during transactions.
- Matt R. Google
I found that the staff is very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for this type of equipment!
- Albert P.
I just want to thank you and the staff at Artisan for your prompt dispatch of the 34401A main board. I got it a couple of hrs. ago, removed the old board, installed the new and the result is as shown in the attachment. It not only works, but is calibrated to the last digit! I am very pleased and will definitely recommend your firm to my friends and colleagues. I really appreciate doing business with a firm that values service.
- Dylan S. Google
Great customer service. good prices and knowledgeable staff!
- Gareth A.
We bought a Parker Compumotor Controller for our press and installed it 2 weeks ago. Easy fix for our machine and it is working perfect.
