Sandia National Laboratories has tested and evaluated a new digitizer, the Centaur, manufactured by Nanometrics, Inc. This digitizer is used to record sensor output for seismic and infrasound monitoring applications. The purpose of the digitizer evaluation was to measure the performance characteristics in such areas as power, sensitivity, self-noise, dynamic range, system noise, modified noise power ration, relative transfer function, analog bandwidth, harmonic distortion, common mode, cross talk, timing tag accuracy and timing drift. The Centaur provides six channels of 24 bit digitization, three of which may be transmitted utilizing CD1.1 protocol.
