Analogic DBS9900 VXI C-Size Dual Instrument Carrier

The Analogic DBS9900 is a VXI C-size dual instrument carrier that houses and operates up to two DBS9XX family plug-in modules within a single VXI chassis slot. This mother/daughterboard architecture optimizes resource utilization and reduces cost per slot while delivering signal generation and acquisition. The carrier supports flexible clocking and triggering via internal circuitry, front panel connectors, and VXI TTLTRG or ECLTRG lines with programmable thresholds for both clock and trigger signals.
