The SANDUS (SANdia Digital Underground System) waveform digitizing system was developed by the instrumentation development division in support of underground nuclear testing and first fielded in the late 70`s. This system has been successfully used for over a decade for the digitization of signals from DC to 10 Mhz. This report is intended to be a broad survey of the fundamental performance characteristics of the system. The data included herein were obtained from a small number of channels under a limited number of configurations and should provide the reader with the general range of performance parameters. As a survey, the laboratory and analytical procedures for the tests have not been detailed.
