About Acqiris
ACQIRIS is a Swiss developer and manufacturer of high-speed digitizers and data acquisition (DAQ) solutions for OEM customers. The portfolio includes configurable PCIe cards and serial modules with sampling rates of 500 MS/s to 8 GS/s per product series (up to 10 GS/s according to the vendor), resolutions of 8 to 14 bits and bandwidths from DC to 3 GHz. All products feature real-time on-board FPGA signal processing (averaging, peak listing, zero suppression, SS-OCT engine) as well as data streaming. In addition, ACQIRIS offers analog output (DAC), pulse generation and application-specific OEM custom solutions with support throughout the entire system life cycle. Fields of application are time-of-flight mass spectrometry, swept-source optical coherence tomography, ultrasound/NDT, LiDAR and distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS) in industrial, medical and research applications. The products are developed in Switzerland; deliveries are made to the EMEA, Asia-Pacific, Americas and Japan regions.

Technology & Processes
High-Speed Digitizers / DAQ Cards
Signal acquisition from 500 MS/s to 8 GS/s (up to 10 GS/s according to the vendor) with 8 to 14-bit resolution.
On-Board FPGA Signal Processing
Real-time processing such as averaging, peak listing, zero suppression and SS-OCT engine directly on the card.
PCIe Cards & Serial Modules
Two form factors: PCIe card (e.g. half-length slot on the SA6) or serial module with USB-C Thunderbolt.
Analog Output & Pulse Generation
Analog output (DAC) and pulse generation including dedicated signal processing complement the acquisition.
