Legion ADC HD


128-Channel Analog-to-Digital Converter

Legion ACD HD

Description

The LEGION ADC offers fully parallel operation for simultaneous data acquisition from all channels without multiplexing in an ultra-compact external USB enclosure. Each unit supports 128-element detectors. It was designed by PhotoSound for massively parallel data acquisition utilized in photoacoustic, laser-induced ultrasound, and X-ray acoustic real-time imaging applications.

  • Compact, durable and light enclosures with integrated cooling fans
  • Streaming ADCs for continuous data acquisition with no buffering or multiplexing
  • Each analog channel has integrated amplifier with digitally controlled gain
  • Acoustoelectrics
  • Generate trigger output at defined rate or repetition of external trigger input with programmed delay
  • Connect up to four units in parallel and acquire more data at fast data acquisition rates
  • Sync external hardware with data acquisition using electronic or optical IN/OUT ports
  • Standalone control software based on MATLAB, open SDK written in C# and access to raw RF data
