How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe Digitizer (likely model: CS14200, a 14-bit, 200 MS/s digitizer) was used to process cavitation signals during the focused ultrasound treatments. This involved driving the pulse-echo ultrasound transducer to acquire cavitation data, which is critical for quantifying the mechanical effects of FUS and ensuring precise and safe treatment parameters.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe digitizer is implied to be part of the system that captures and processes the reflected light. In this context, it would be used to precisely measure the time of flight of light pulses after they bounce off a diffuse reflector, aiding in the reconstruction of the hidden object’s 3D structure.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The LENPA employs a time-of-flight method and various subsystems for operation. A GaGe acquisition card with a high sampling rate of 1 GS/s, facilitated by a 4 TB fast memory card, enables continuous data collection. This data acquisition system is crucial for accurately capturing and processing neutral particle information.

How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe Digitizer, specifically the Gage 12400, was used in the research to digitize amplified echo signals during the ultrasonic BBB opening process. The digitizer converted analog signals to digital data, which were then analyzed to monitor and measure the effects of FUS on the BBB.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The Laser-Induced Phosphorescence of (methyl)GLyOxal Spectrometry (LIPGLOS) method utilizes laser-induced phosphorescent decays to achieve high sensitivity and time resolution in measuring glyoxal and methylglyoxal. The GaGe digitizer card enabled high-speed data acquisition for precise analysis of photon arrival times and instrumental diagnostics.

How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The researchers employed a GaGe CompuScope 22G8 digitizer to capture autofluorescence (AF) signals at a high sampling rate of 2 GS/s. Additionally, a GaGe CompuScope 14200 digitizer was used for digitizing photoacoustic (PA) signals at 200 MS/s.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The paper introduces continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) as a highly sensitive technique to measure VDFs, overcoming limitations of LIF. The GaGe digitizer was employed to record ring-down times in the optical cavity, enabling precise measurements of absorption coefficients and VDFs.

How the GaGe Digitizer was used: Data acquisition parameters are determined based on the required sampling frequency for different sweep rates of the radiated waves. The short sweep time of ultra-wide bandwidth of the reflectometer needs synchronization with the tokamak plasma pulse. An Ethernet-based LabVIEW application software was developed for simplified and remote operation of the reflectometer system, controlled by a single master TTL trigger.

How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe digitizer used in the research is the CompuScope 12400. This 12-bit data acquisition card was crucial in the analog-to-digital data conversion and data transfer to a computer during the testing of the ultrasound transducer. It operated at a sampling frequency of up to 400 MHz, ensuring precise and accurate digital representation of the analog signals received from the ultrasound transducer during experiments.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe Digitizer played a central role in this study by capturing detailed ultrasound data from 3D-printed PEKK specimens. The digitizer, operating at a 2 GHz sampling rate, collected backscattered ultrasound signals which were then analyzed using various signal processing techniques. This setup enabled precise differentiation between annealed and unannealed specimens based on their ultrasonic responses.
