Spectrum Instrumentation -
Your partner for ultra-fast and high-resolution PC measurement technology
Spectrum Instrumentation, founded in 1989, develops and manufactures ultra-fast and high-resolution PC products for signal capture and signal generation. We use a unique modular concept that allows us to offer over 200 different digitizers and arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) that are available as PC cards (PCIe and PXIe) and stand-alone Ethernet devices (LXI). Thanks to this extensive product range, we can provide you with the perfect solution tailored to your needs.
At the same time, we offer comprehensive software support, including drivers for various operating systems, drivers for 3rd party software, as well as more than 50 different Linux distributions. With SBench6 we also provide you with very powerful, interactive and easy to use measurement software.
Today, our customer base includes international industrial companies as well as leading universities and institutions. For example, our products are used in the particle accelerator of CERN as well as in quantum research - because the products are so low-noise and precise that they can even be used to direct individual atoms.



"At Spectrum, we see service as our core mission. The needs of our customers are our highest priority."
Above all, service means good communication in order to understand your requirements and find the optimal solution for your company. With us, you can always speak directly with the developers and engineers - or with one of our experienced local partners.
Over the years, we have established a worldwide sales and service network. We are represented in all the markets that are important to us - in Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA (where we founded Spectrum Instrumentation Corp. in 2015 to better manage the growing US business and the increasing number of local representatives). In the Asian region as well as in Australia, our Asian Business Manager, Gregory Tate, supports the distributors in all business matters. This enables us to deliver on our core service promise outside of Europe and to guarantee individual support for our customers – already in more than 39 countries!
Spectrum Instrumentation's headquarters are located in Grosshansdorf near Hamburg. Here, all specialist competences are pooled in order to rapidly respond to your requirements. This includes expediting delivery times as well as individual technical modifications, where we precisely follow your specifications.
Our team of engineers is continuously developing new product lines and perfecting existing ones. With more than 30 years of experience we achieve the highest quality standards. Furthermore, the needs, suggestions and requirements of our customers are always given special attention in the development of new products.
Testing, configuration and start-up of the products is done in-house, combined with permanent process optimization. As high quality and reliability are of special importance to us, we have developed our own quality management system for multi-stage, automatic test procedures. The inspections and tests performed on all of our products include comparative measurements of all the relevant parameters that are listed in the data sheet. The measured values are recorded and analyzed to improve product quality and to detect any deviations at an early stage. Permanent evaluation of the results ensures the highest product quality.
We totally believe in the high quality of our products. This is particularly reflected in the 5-year warranty they come with as standard.
It is our ambition and target at Spectrum to achieve continuous improvement in what we do. And we want you and your company to benefit from it!
