Overview
The DT5571 is a high-performance waveform digitizer featuring 14-bit resolution and a 200 MS/s sampling rate on a single analog input. Designed to meet the needs of modern acquisition setups, it combines precision, speed, and flexibility in a streamlined desktop form factor.
Two operating modes are supported: Scope Mode for raw waveform recording, and DPP Mode for real-time on-board signal processing. With software-selectable input polarity and an internal memory buffer, the DT5571 is ideal for reading out scintillators, SiPMs, and other fast detectors.
The module offers USB 2.0 and 10/100 Mb Ethernet interfaces for fast data transfer and remote access. Its Open FPGA architecture enables full customization of acquisition logic via CAEN’s Sci-Compiler, with a graphical environment accessible to users with no VHDL experience.
It is also fully compatible with WaveDump2 and CoMPASS, supporting both advanced analysis and straightforward configuration. Whether for R&D, prototyping, or education, the DT5571 delivers reliable performance and flexibility in a compact, lab-friendly solution.
The DT5571 is available in desktop version and is ready to support your next acquisition challenge.
