AlazarTech updates its 8-lane PCI Express core to further enhance ATS9350 and ATS9870 bus throughput

Montreal, Canada (August 10, 2010) AlazarTech, a manufacturer of high performance, low cost PC Based Instruments, today announced the release of a new PCI Express 8-lane interface on its popular ATS9350 and ATS9870 waveform digitizer.

Previously, the 8-lane interface of ATS9462 had a throughput of 1.4 GB/s if used with S5000 and core i7 motherboards, but was limited to approximately 1.1 GB/s MB/s when used with some Dell and HP motherboards. With the updated core, the throughput is in excess of 1.6 GB/s on virtually all motherboards.

To take advantage of the new core, users must upgrade the firmware to version 16.2 or higher on their ATS9350 boards and to version 41.1 or higher on their ATS9870 boards.

“We are never satisfied with product performance or quality”, stated Muneeb Khalid, President of AlazarTech. “Even though we already provide the fastest data throughput of any waveform digitizer manufacturer, we are always looking to improve our products”.

Availability and Pricing
The new core is available immediately at no charge.
 

AlazarTech, headquartered in a suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, provides high performance, low cost PC Based Instruments and software for customers involved in building OEM products, manufacturing test systems and research and development.

AlazarTech was founded in 2003 by Muneeb Khalid, who was the original founder of Gage Applied Sciences Inc., a pioneer in PC Based Instrumentation. That company was sold to Tektronix Inc. in 2000.

While AlazarTech manufactures some of the fastest PCI and PCI Express digitizers on the market, speed alone is not the differentiating factor.  AlazarTech concentrates on providing usability features for its PCI and PCI Express digitizers that make them very easy to integrate into real-world OEM applications such as ultrasonic testing, medical imaging and radar signal analysis.

The key differentiation between AlazarTech products and the rest of the industry is AlazarTech’s Dual-Port Memory technology, which enables OEMs to create systems that can capture, analyze and store data in real time.
Customers can use AlazarTech products not only for R&D, but also deploy them in the field. Competitive products use single-port memory, forcing customers to stop acquisition in order to read data, thereby limiting their usefulness to R&D and algorithm development.

AlazarTech also works with selected OEMs to customize its products based on customer requirements.

The company's line of ATS PCI and PCI Express digitizers have been recognized by leading European, Asian and North American OEMs as being superior in quality to other devices on the market.

The company's products have found applications in industries such as medical imaging, metal inspection, defense, automotive and semiconductor test.
AlazarTech sells its products directly in North America, and internationally through a distribution network.
