Product End-Of-Life (EOL) Notice for "PCI"
Digitizer Models BASE-8, Razor and Octopus

The purpose of this notification is to communicate the 2016 End-Of-Life (EOL) notice of the GaGe "PCI" version BASE-8, Razor and Octopus CompuScope digitizer models.

There is no last time buy opportunity for these specified End-Of-Life GaGe digitizers.

We highly encourage existing customers of these End-Of-Life GaGe "PCI" digitizers to begin consideration of migration efforts to current PCIe Express (PCIe) digitizer product model versions for future requirements as soon as possible.

Note that digitizer product model migration from previous "PCI" to current "PCIe" can be performed with very minimal changes to application software. Current PCIe digitizers share the same foundational application programming interfaces (APIs) as the previous PCI models with similar driver architectures. In addition, current PCIe models provide further advantages with more standard onboard sample memory and faster data transfer rates with the host PC system.

DynamicSignals can assist in customer migration efforts by providing evaluation units of current recommend PCIe digitizer replacement models, and recommendations of suitable host PC systems to accommodate them if needed.

Please contact us for further information and/or any assistance in evaluating application requirements for quick migration to current digitizer models.

The following tables identifies each EOL PCI digitizer model and the recommended corresponding PCIe digitizer model replacement option for future requirements:
