Marvin Test Solutions MV-GC2200 Series
PCI Time Interval Counter Card for Precise Test and Measurement

Precision in Time and Frequency Measurement
The GC2200 Series from Marvin Test Solutions combines the performance of modern frequency and time interval counters in a compact PCI measurement card. Designed for demanding electronic measurement systems, this PCI time interval counter card delivers high accuracy, speed, and flexibility.
With frequency ranges from DC up to 2.0 GHz, the series of interface cards covers a wide application spectrum – from classical test tasks to laboratory applications with USB adapters and extended accessories.

Maximum Accuracy for Reliable Results
With a resolution of up to 100 picoseconds and a measurement rate of up to 2,300 readings per second, the GC2200 Series sets benchmarks in speed and precision.
It is ideally suited for advanced frequency measurements, grid frequency analysis, or the characterization of complex products in electronic development. Whether used as a high-precision frequency counter or for comprehensive measurement and analysis tasks – the PCI cards consistently deliver reliable results.
The integrated self-calibration ensures long-term measurement stability. Modern processor and FPGA technology allow even demanding measurement tasks to be performed quickly, accurately, and reliably.

Versatile Applications in Test Systems and Laboratories
Whether in automated test equipment (ATE), manufacturing and quality control, or in precise calibration and metrology laboratories – the GC2200 Series proves its versatility. It supports frequency and period measurements, time interval and pulse width analysis, as well as ratio and totalizer functions. PCI time interval counter cards thus cover the full range of modern test technology requirements.

Flexible Integration into Test and Measurement Environments
The cards can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and support both classical interfaces and modern PCIe network cards.
Flexible inputs, configurable options, and suitable adapters ensure that the hardware can be easily adapted to various applications and test environments.
Thanks to simple integration into testers, data loggers, or automated test benches, the cards provide an adaptable platform.
Comprehensive software packages as well as optional accessories and adapter solutions simplify integration under Windows and Linux.
Interfaces to LabVIEW, ATEasy, C/C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi expand programming flexibility.

Future-Proof Test and Measurement Technology
The GC2200 Series is an investment in modern technology for companies that rely on precision and reliability in electronic measurement. Fast data acquisition, accurate frequency measurements, and flexible software integration make these PCI time interval counter cards an indispensable solution. With high compatibility, they integrate seamlessly into modern measurement systems – from research to volume production.
