Threshold comparator card for event monitoring and test and measurement introduced by Marvin Test Solutions

IRVINE, Calif. – Marvin Test Solutions Inc. in Irvine, Calif., is introducing the GX3748 series 48-channel threshold comparator card for event monitoring and control.

The GX3748 combines 48 voltage comparator channels with windowing and precision level detection. Users can generate triggers based on user programmable voltage threshold levels to enable time-critical response when out-of-limit test conditions occur.

Users also can combine several high-density comparator cards in one chassis without sacrificing performance or system response time to expand monitoring capacity to many hundreds of channels.

The 50-volt input range is for a wide variety of test and measurement applications, combining 16 channels of comparator window functionality with 32 channels of threshold detection.

Users can monitor signal levels on any of the input channels, as well as generate event timestamp, digitize, and store data on one channel per 16 channel group.

The GX3748 incorporates a user-configurable Intel/Altera Stratix III field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based daughter card, enabling the use of Quartus or the license-free Quartus Prime Lite programming tools.

The GX3748 series comes with GxFPGA software that includes a virtual instrument panel, and a Windows 32/64-bit DLL driver and documentation. Interface files are provided to support access to programming tools and languages such as ATEasy, LabVIEW, C/C++, Microsoft C# and Visual Basic A Linux driver comes standard with the GtLinux software package.
