[Handbook Presentation] Hybrid Net Box

The German company Spectrum launched support for the programming language "Julia" (SDK) on May 5, 2021, ahead of the world. You can use Spectrum's digitizers, AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generators), and digital IO from "Julia." "Julia" is a relatively new programming language developed at MIT. It combines the performance speed of "C" with the expressiveness of "Python" and "MATLAB," and is rapidly gaining popularity in the fields of science and technology as well as numerical computation. - Digitizer 16bit, ~250MS/s, 14bit, ~500MS/s, 8bit ~5GS/s Maximum bandwidth: ~1.5GHz Number of input channels: 2, 4, 8 (50Ω, 1MΩ) - Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) 16bit ~125MS/s (8 channels), ~625MS/s (4 channels), 16bit ~1.25GS/s (2 channels) Number of output channels: 2, 4, 8 (50Ω) - Digital IO Number of input or output channels: 16 or 32 Sampling frequency: ~125MHz Input level: 3.3V (5V) TTL

On March 17, 2021, Spectrum, a German company, began supporting drivers for NVIDIA Jetson (ARM-based embedded computer boards) in response to numerous requests received. This allows Spectrum's 65 types of digitizers, AWGs (Arbitrary Waveform Generators), and digital IO products with PCIe interfaces to be used with the compact, power-efficient, and powerful NVIDIA Jetson. NVIDIA Jetson consists of an ARM CPU and NVIDIA's CUDA-based GPU, enabling supercomputer-level parallel computing and featuring a PCIe slot. This allows for the application of supercomputer-level parallel computing performance from NVIDIA GPUs to the vast amounts of data generated by Spectrum's PCIe products. Spectrum has traditionally supported NVIDIA CUDA-based GPUs through the SCAPP (Spectrum's CUDA Access for Parallel Processing) option.

The hybridNETBOX from Spectrum, which combines an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) and a digitizer, is a groundbreaking measuring instrument in a new form. It can be easily connected to a computer via an LXI (Ethernet) interface, allowing for real-time control of the instrument and analysis of measurement data from the computer. The included waveform generation, acquisition, and analysis GUI (SBench6) allows for easy control, display, analysis, saving, and report creation of generated and acquired waveforms. Additionally, it supports environments such as Visual C++, LabVIEW, MATLAB, C++ Builder, GNU C++, VB.NET, C#, J#, Delphi, Java, and Python, making it usable from these platforms as well. The supported operating systems include Windows 7 (SP1), 8, 10, Server 2008 R2 and newer, as well as Linux Kernel 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x.
