VME Data Acquisition, Processing and Recording System - 1GSPS

Description

The PP167 is a high performance data acquisition and processing platform dedicated to digital recording applications. The PP167 VME based card comprises four 1GSPS A/D channels as well as two Virtex-4 FPGAs for processing and two Virtex-4 FPGAs with embedded PowerPC cores. Real-time recording can be easily achieved by connecting the FPDP or fibre channel to a disk array (200Mbytes/s sustained). Communication with a host computer via the VME bus enables users to control the system, modify algorithm settings on-the-fly and extract data for further analysis. Several VME cards can be cascaded and communicate via FPDP or VME bus in order to increase the channel count and the recording capability.
