Keysight DAQM909A 4 Channel Simultaneous Sampling Module

The Keysight DAQM909A is a 4-channel simultaneous sampling digitizer module engineered for high-speed, synchronized data acquisition within the DAQ970A and DAQ973A mainframes. This module delivers 24-bit resolution across differential and single-ended inputs, supporting sampling rates up to 800 kSa/s in time domain and 100 kSa/s in frequency domain. With residual noise down to 7 μVrms and total harmonic distortion as low as -103 dB at 1 kHz, the DAQM909A is optimized for precision measurements in harmonic analysis, power characterization, and acoustic testing of electromechanical systems. Each channel can be independently configured with selectable input ranges from 300 mV to 36 Vpk differential, and includes an integrated IEPE current source (2 mA to 4 mA) for direct transducer excitation. Acquisition memory extends to 48 MSa per channel. Up to three modules installed in a single mainframe achieve 12 channels of fully synchronized simultaneous digitization.
