PXI Card, Time Interval Counter, 225 MHz - 2 GHz | GTX2200 Series

Product Information "PXI Card, Time Interval Counter, 225 MHz - 2 GHz | GTX2200 Series"

Marvin GTX2200 Series
PXI/PXIe Frequency Counter with 2× BNC (50 Ω/1 MΩ, AC/DC),
100 ps Time Resolution, up to 2,300 Measurements/s, 10 MHz Reference Input

Performance Meets Precision — At a Glance

The GTX2200 Series brings high-end frequency measurement directly into your PXI or PXIe system. Whether in a classic PXI chassis or a modern PXI Express enclosure, the modules integrate seamlessly and deliver reliable performance for demanding test tasks. Optionally combinable with a PXI embedded controller.

Plug In. Connect. Measure.

With the integrated software tools, you always stay in control: displays, measurements, and firmware management are centrally bundled for smooth setup and fast results. Relevant data and information are immediately available for comparison, and optional accessories make it easier to get started.

Designed for Efficiency and Repeatability

The high-throughput architecture of the GTX2200 Series ensures stable, repeatable measurement data—whether in the lab, in development, or in automated test operation. Built for modern measurement technology, high measurement rates, and precise counter functions in PXI/PXIe environments.

Versatile — Precise Down to the Details

Whether measuring time, frequency, or pulse width, the GTX2200 Series counters excel in clock analysis, RF validation, and radar and communications projects. An embedded controller boosts performance in PXIe environments and enables reliable capture of short pulses. This makes the series a precise frequency and interval counter within a PXI/PXIe rack.

Future-Proof Scalability

With three model variants, the GTX2200 Series offers the right performance class for every application. Expansions can be easily integrated into existing chassis for maximum scalability.
