Our workhorse 10 channel digitizer.
The FemtoDAQ Kingfisher is a compact, high performance data acquisition system. It features 10 low noise data acquisition channels, a 34-80V detector bias supply, and logical I/O to interact with your experimental setup. Simply power it up and connect it via USB or ethernet to start collecting data! It comes in a rugged metal enclosure with removable bevels and feet for easy integration into custom fixtures.
A full feature graphical interface lets you configure your experiment, view data collection live, and download your data in CSV, binary, or IGOR data formats. The unit is fully programmable with Python or C language APIs for more nuanced data acquisition needs. A programming guide with examples and user manual are available from the graphical interface to get you started.
