The Wandel & Goltermann DIG-216 is a 2-channel, 16-bit digitizer housed in a C-size, single-slot VXI module architecture. Purpose-built for telecommunications signal acquisition and analysis, it delivers precise measurements of digital communication line performance and supports rapid fault identification in network infrastructure. The instrument integrates into VXI mainframe systems controlled via embedded or external PC-based controllers, making it suitable for laboratory troubleshooting and field deployment in telecom environments.

– Compatibility & Integration
The DIG-216 operates within the VXIbus architecture—a standardized modular instrumentation platform combining VME and instrument-specific extensions. Installation requires a VXI mainframe with embedded controller or external PC equipped with VXI interface capability. This design supports mixed-instrument test systems where the digitizer works alongside other specialized modules for comprehensive signal analysis.
