8201 LeCroy Waveform Analyzer

The Model 8210 Quad 10-Bit Transient Digitizer is part of an expanded line of LeCroy products for the study of transient phenomena. The 8210 offers the user a medium speed, high performance, modular waveform digitizer designed in the accordance with CAMAC standards, providing high data tranfser rates and system flexiblity. Up to 4 analog inputs to the 8210 are sampled simultaneously by track-and-hold circuits having analog bandwidths greater than 5 MHz and channel-to-channel smapling uncertainty of less than 5 nsec. The analog signal is digitized by a 10-bit, successive appproximation ADC. The data is stored in the Modle 8800A memory module under the control of the 8210. Each 8800A module has the cpapacity of 32K, 10-bit words; up to 3 memory modules may be used in a serial fasion. The memory per channel is the total memory dvided by the number of active channels. (Futher expansion possible as factory option.)

The data is read out through the memory control circuitry in the Model 8210. Each of the four channels can be separately addressed. Readout is non-destructive, and a DAC display is provided for presentation on any scope.

The 8210 system digitizes continuously, which allows retention of waveform data recored before the stop trigger. The pretrigger samping capability allows recording the baseline value to the occurence of the meaningful signal or allows triggering from a feature of the signal while retaining pervious detail.
