FemtoDAQ Vireo
2 Channel Digitizer
Our classroom and small project digitizer.
The FemtoDAQ Vireo is the successor to our popular FemtoDAQ classic digitizer. It features 2 low noise data acquisition channels, an 11-56V 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!
A full feature graphical interface lets you configure your experiment, view plots of 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.
