Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) Solutions
Engineered for Accuracy
Industry-leading signal fidelity, minimal noise, and the highest effective number of bits (ENOB) ensure you capture all single-shot signals accurately.
Low instrument noise and a high signal-to-noise ratio enable precise characterization of your designs.
Tektronix acquisition systems are guaranteed to withstand 30G's of force (with margin testing up to 50G's), ensuring your data is captured reliably every time.
Precision Capture for Shock Events
This solution for PDV ensures highly reliable, accurate, and stable signal acquisition, delivering exceptional signal fidelity and high channel counts — critical for capturing single-shot, high-value shock physics experiments with confidence.
Why Choose Tektronix for Your PDV Testing Solution
Performance: Designed for high-energy physics challenges. Achieve over 8 bits of ENOB at 1 GHz, eliminating the need to split acquisition ranges across multiple input channels. Optimize your full performance acquisition channels by extending coverage to new sensors or reducing the size of your PDV system.
Reliability: Confidence in the most demanding conditions. The 5 Series MSO low-profile oscilloscope and 6 Series low-profile digitizer offer high channel density and fit seamlessly into tight spaces. These oscilloscopes reliably trigger on single-shot events at high bandwidth, ensuring trusted acquisition of essential PDV experimental data.
Data Capture: Engineered for precision. Our low-noise acquisition systems ensure high-fidelity, single-shot capture, minimizing uncertainty in PDV tests.
Fast Data Movement: Secure, high-speed offloading of data for offline analysis.
Security: Secure your data. Tektronix oscilloscopes can be easily declassified to remove it from a secure environment for repair, calibration, or deployment elsewhere.
System Integration: Seamless deployment. System integrators use Tektronix low profile digitizers for high-speed, high-density data acquisition in compact test systems. Controlled via TekHSI, a Python client using Google’s open-source gRPC framework, enable efficient, low-latency remote control and data streaming.
APIs: Streamlined and scalable. Python APIs provide a consistent interface for controlling a wide range of Tektronix instruments, simplifying system integration, reducing development time, and enabling scalable, scriptable automation across complex test setups.
Instrument Care and Support: Downtime is not an option. We provide comprehensive support solutions to ensure your equipment operates within specified ranges.
