New High-Channel-Count Data Acquisition Systems

Verasonics is pleased to announce important enhancements for high-channel-count data acquisition, using from 2 to 8 Vantage systems simultaneously. A key component is the Volume Imaging Package which provides faster data transfer, distributed beamforming, and a new programming model for 3D imaging. A rack-mount system for the Vantage systems and computers provides efficient utilization of space and ergonomic considerations, with all host adapters and cables, synchronization module, installation and scripting support included. Additional key components are 1024-element 2D Matrix Array transducers at 3.5 and 7.5 MHz that interface through a UTA 256 Direct adapter on each system providing direct channel-to-element control, or the UTA 1024-MUX adapter providing 4-to-1 multiplexing, which allows researchers to begin volume acquisition investigations with a single Vantage system. For researchers who are seeking a lower-cost solution for multi-system data acquisition, Verasonics introduces the Vantage 256 External Clock configuration which adds additional transmit and receive pathways driven by the master clock on a primary system. External Clock systems can be upgraded to full independent functionality as needs require and budgets permit.
