WDM 5000 Waveform Digitizer Series Detail


WDM 5000 Waveform Digitizers Overview

WDM 5044The Guzik WDM 5000 Waveform Digitizer Series provides high-speed waveform capture and analysis in a display-less rack-mounted format. In addition to disk drive head and media testing applications, these products address demanding ATE and OEM systems applications in avionics, military electronics, particle physics, astronomy, semiconductors, and a variety of other disciplines.

Guzik has been providing high bandwidth test solutions for over 25 years to the data storage industry for disk drive head and media characterization, and now makes this high bandwidth waveform capture and analysis expertise available for a wider variety of applications. 3 models are available in the WDM 5000 Series as shown:

WDM 5000 Digitizers are ideal system components for high speed data acquisition. The instruments combine outstanding signal fidelity and waveform capture with an FPGA-based hardware processing back-end. Customers can work with Guzik to develop custom hardware-based measurement routines specific to their application and have them become part of the overall measurement offering. A Matlab driver is supplied to allow seamless operation with that tool, and users can export waveform data for import into Excel or a variety of other computation and math software using the WDM Signal Explorer Control and Interface software supplied with each WDM 5000 unit. This tool provides the same real-time "scope-like" operation users expect in standalone mode via the high speed PCI Express connection between the digitizer and the host computer running WDM Signal Explorer.

At 4 Gpoints per channel, the WDM 5121 provides the longest waveform capture time window available. The WDM 5000’s modular architecture is built on the industry-standard ATCA platform, and allows customers to protect their system investment by allowing for future component upgrades or multi-channel configurations.

Hardware-Based Digital Processing Capabilities

At the heart of the WDM 5000’s Digital Processor lies a pair of powerful Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA’s. These core processing elements combined with Guzik’s engineering implementation of customer-specified measurement algorithms and measurements provide users with a truly tailored measurement solution where speed and throughput count. The Digital Processor (DP) is directly connected to the WDM’s ADC via a high speed pipe capable of delivering data at a rate of 10 Gbyte/sec. Once processed, results can be streamed via the WDM’s PCI Express interface to a host computer at sustained data rates of 120Mbyte per second. The WDM 5000 comes with a 16Mpoint FFT processing routine.

Customers can work with Guzik to implement custom measurements in their WDM 5000's - ideal for system throughput where waveform data can be processed directly on the WDM 5000 DP module and parameters alone can be transferred back to the host computer. Simply EMAIL us at sales@guzik.com and we'll take it from there.

Documentation

Spinstand For users of Guzik magnetic recording test systems, the WDM 5000 digitzers connect directly to the same host computer connected to the RWA Read/Write Analyzer. WITE32 software controls all WDM 5000's setup and operation remotely; there is no need for the user to interact separately with the instrument. The 2 primary manuals available include the WDM 5000 Hardware Reference and the WITE32 /WDM 5000 Digital Measurements Sofware Reference.

PCI Express x1 Connection to a Laptop

If the WDM 5000 is being utilized with a laptop computer, the One Stop Systems OSS-PCIe-HIB2-EC-x1 Express Card can be purchased separately to provide connectivity between the laptop and WDM 5000 digitizer. Click here for more information directly from the manufacturer's website.

Signal Connection and Probing

For applications requiring single ended or differential probing, Guzik recommends the Agilent Technologies Infiniimax Series of probing tools for use with the WDM 5000 Series. Detailed selection information can be found at http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5968-7141EN.pdf.

A wide variety of probe solutions up to 13 GHz in bandwidth can be purchased directly from Guzik or Agilent Technologies, and the interface to the WDM 5000 is the N1022A. The N1022A connects to the WDM 5000 via a SMA to SMA cable, and probe power is supplied to the Infiniimax probes via an external Agilent 1143A probe power supply.
