array technology. In this way, the UV-VIS to NIR spectral ranges (180 nm – 2500 nm) can be covered by
ready-to-use subunits.
Once parameterized and started by the PC, the board’s
data acquisition controller provides a fully autonomous
management of the photodiode array readout cycle.
During spectral data acquisition the PC is able to perform other jobs. The state of data acquisition is accessible at any time by reading the status of the spectra
data buffer. An integrated I²C bus allows additional
information exchange between attached electronics
modules (e.g. parameters or coefficients, identification /
version).

General
The OEM Interface Electronics PD-PCIe01V1 is a digital spectral data acquisition controller and data buffer
with an x1 PCIe bus interface. The board is directly
compatible to all Front End Electronics (FEE) which
comply with tec5 specification ‘Interface_40’ (FEE-HS
and FEE-1M).
Combined with other modules from the tec5 range of
OEM electronics for spectroscopy, the PCIe Bus Interface Electronics supports photodiode arrays and Spectral Sensors based on NMOS, CCD or InGaAs diode
Data Acquisition:
Software selectable sensor operating modes
(Single Scan, Single Cycle, Continuous Scan,
Burst Scan, SyncToContScan, etc.).
Crystal clock controlled integration time.
64 K words on-board FIFO buffer for spectral data,
readout of FIFO data during measurement, allowing
continuous data acquisition.
Periphery I/O:
Integrated illumination control output for triggering flash
lamps.
