High-Speed Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Signal Data Recording Signatec's high-speed digitizers maximize the quality of captured wideband signals, in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and spurious-free dynamic range, over a very wide frequency bandwidth. What separates Signatec's digitizers from any other similar product in the industry is the ability to acquire and transfer data simultaneously with no breaks in the analog record at sustained high-speed data rates. Signatec systems can continuously record up to 2.8 GigaSamples per second (GSPS) of data through the PC to drive storage. Signatec's high-speed digitizers are also designed with a master-slave operation feature that allows for connecting multiple digitizers to create a simultaneous multi-channel acquisition system. In master-slave operation, the master board drives the clock and trigger signals for the slave boards so that data on the slave boards align sample-for-sample with the data on the master board. A SYNC1500-6 board can be added to provide clock, trigger and synchronization signals for up to six data acquisition boards, either within a single chassis or across multiple chassis, further expanding possible scaled rates and capacities. Signatec's digitizers are also capable of being operated remotely through a standard TCP/IP network connection. Programmable FPGA Digitizers for In-Line DSP Signatec's advanced digitizers now offer powerful, on-board FPGA processing capabilities for turnkey, real-time application solutions. Signatec'sprogrammable FPGA digitizers allow customers to implement their own custom in-line signal processing with optional onboard FPGAs. Standard interfaces and examples are provided to simplify this task in the available Signatec firmware development kits for custom programming by the user. Or customers can simply choose to take advantage of Signatec's embedded real-time DSP capabilities for FFT, FIR filtering and DDC processing logic packages provided with our FPGA digitizers at no additional cost. SIG-Series Recording Solutions with Real-Time DSP and Signal Generation Options SIG-Series systems include real-time DSP and signal generation options with data acquisition recorders for a complete solution that combines performance features of oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and signal generators.

SIG-Series systems come complete with GUI-based software for performing all system settings, viewing digital data (either captured or generated), performing signal recordings and playbacks as well as the option for viewing data in either time domain or frequency domain. Signatec's scalable real-time data acquisition, recording, signal processing and signal generation playback systems can be configured to meet the most demanding applications. This effective real-time system creation from otherwise non-real-time performance components is the real brilliance behind Signatec’s engineered system solutions and is what separates Signatec’s systems from other commercially available options. DR-Series Recording Solutions With ever-increasing performance features, PC workstations and server-class computer systems can serve as affordable, real-time recording systems. Signatec leverages the latest COTS computer components and engineers best-of-class waveform digitizers to stream data continuously to drive storage systems without any break in the analog record, and for a fraction of the cost of proprietary recording systems. Multiple data acquisition boards can be integrated within a system, or across systems, to create synchronized, multi-channel acquisition systems with accommodations for large-bandwidth and high-resolution applications, along with an extremely large memory capacity. Signatec's DR2800 signal recording system was created for developers of advanced SIGINT, radar and medical imaging applications. These systems continuously record up to 2.8 GigaSamples per second of data through the PC to drive storage without any break in the analog record. Solid State Based Recording Solutions Signatec's solid state recording systems utilize high-performance enterprise class solid state drives that maximize performance, reliability and lifetime duration. These solid state-based systems are designed for applications that require high-performance while minimizing power consumption and maximizing reliability in extreme environments. The typical operating power average for solid state drives is 2.0 Watts versus the 8.2 - 12.2 Watts range for traditional SATA/SAS hard drives. In addition, the NAND flash-based architecture of solid state drives versus the spinning platters and mechanical heads architecture of traditional hard drives make solid state drives much more reliable, as they are not prone to mechanical failures and can operate in more extreme environments in terms of shock, temperature and operating altitudes. Solid state drives, with their NAND flash-based architecture, are also capable of sustaining much faster data rates per drive than traditional hard drives, thus providing the capability of sustaining high-speed recordings while utilizing fewer drives. Mobile System Solutions Signatec's EC14150 is the first digitizer for laptop-based systems. The EC14150 is a dual-channel waveform capture board that provides a remarkable combination of 150 MHz high speed and 14-bit high resolution sampling along with a very large memory capacity, all in a very compact, low power ExpressCard 54mm form factor. At 4.0 to 4.5 Watts, the EC14150 represents one of the lowest power consuming digitizer cards ever created for its class. The AC-coupled version (EC14150A) allows for signal frequencies up to 200 MHz to be accurately captured either in baseband or in higher order Nyquist zones using under-sampling techniques. The DC-coupled version (EC14150D) allows for signal frequencies from DC to 75 MHz to be accurately captured. The EC14150 card is capable of sustaining 90 MegaSamples per second transfers over the ExpressCard/54 bus interface.

The entire 512 MB memory may be used as a giant FIFO for acquiring data directly to either the SAB or PCI bus. Tests have shown that a very large FIFO memory is required to prevent data loss when performing continuous data streaming over the PCI bus.  The PDA14 is a 64-bit PCI compatible board equipped with standard 'Plug and Play' features common in PCI systems. It is capable of Bus Master DMA data transfers at up to a peak of 266 megabytes/second and a sustained rate of 250 megabytes/second. It can also operate in 32-bit PCI slots in which case the transfer  rate will be limited to about 125 megabytes per second.  The PDA14 incorporates the advanced Signatec Auxiliary Bus (SAB) that allows for data transfers of up to 500 megabytes/second. This allows for the high-speed transfer of data to fast processor boards, such as Signatec's PMP8A, or other peripherals. The SAB also incorporates device control features for operating the PDA14 independent of the host bus. The PDA14 is equipped with an interconnect port to allow multiple boards to be interconnected in a Master/Slave configuration. Up to three Slave boards may be operated with one Master. Master/Slave connections are via a ribbon cable that connects at the top of the board. In this configuration the clock and trigger signals from the Master drive the Slave boards so that data sampling on all boards occurs simultaneously.  The PDA14 has six software selectable signal amplitude ranges from a maximum of 3.0 volts down to 200 millivolts full scale.  External clock and trigger signals are provided via SMA connectors on the back bracket. Also provided is a user selectable digital output signal for synchronization purposes. Effectively, twenty-two internal clock frequencies may be selected, from 100 MHz down to 97.7 kHz in factors of 2 or from 62.5 MHz down 61.0 kHz in factors of 2. The PDA14 supports single shot, segmented, and pretrigger triggering modes. Hardware Description: The figure on the next page shows a simplified mechanization for the PDA14. The input signals may be set for either DC or AC coupling. The signal conditioning provides six voltage ranges from 200 millivolts to 3.0 volts peak-to-peak full scale. A low pass filter sets the channel bandwidth to 50 MHz. For test purposes, the ADC input may be fed a sine wave test signal (not shown) for measuring the AC performance at 25 MHz.  The data input to RAM FIFO 1 can be considered to be two separate 16-bit data streams. The latches and multiplexers at the output of the ADCs allows for capturing data from both channels or from channel 1 only or channel 2 only.  The Pretrigger Samples Shift Registers are programmable in length up to 4k samples. They can be used to capture pretrigger samples in either the Single Shot or Segmented trigger modes. Before a trigger is received, data is written into the shift registers but goes no further. After receiving a trigger, data samples start to be written into RAM FIFO 1. See the section "Trigger Modes and Options" for trigger mode details.  The ADCs always operate at either 100 MHz or 62.5 MHz when the internal clock is used or else at the external clock frequency. Operation at reduced rates is accomplished by dropping out the appropriate data bytes from the data stream. Thus the effective sample rate is divided from 2 to 1024 in factors of 2.  Data is written into the SDRAM via FIFO1 and read from RAM via FIFO2. The RAM operates at a clock rate of 133 MHz so it has a bandwidth capability of slightly greater than 500 MB/s. When data is being acquired at a rate of 250 MB/s or less (62.5 MHz on 2 channels or 100 MHz on single channel), it is possible to operate the board in Buffered Acquisition mode. In this mode the RAM is operated as a very large FIFO for acquiring data directly to the PCI bus or SAB.  The PDA14 has 12 operating modes as follows: Standby Acquisition to RAM Acquisition to PCI Bus Buffered Acquisition to PCI bus (RAM as FIFO) Acquisition to SAB Buffered Acquisition to SAB (RAM as FIFO) Data Transfer, RAM to PCI bus Data Transfer, RAM to SAB Write RAM (from PCI bus) Write RAM (from SAB) Read Time Stamps (from PCI bus) Read Time Stamps (from SAB) The RAM write mode is typically used to test the on-board memory by writing data via the PCI bus and reading back via a RAM-to-PCI transfer.  External Inputs/Outputs Besides the signal input, the PDA14 also provides SMA connections for a clock input, a trigger input, and a digital output signal. The clock input can be selected as the ADC sample clock. The external trigger can be used to synchronize the start of data acquisition with an external event. Trigger parameters such as trigger level, slope, etc. are user programmable. The digital output is a user selectable signal. The list of selections is TBD. Trigger Modes and Options In data acquisition mode three triggering modes are available: single shot, segmented, or pretrigger. In the single shot mode, following the detection of a trigger signal, all of the active memory is filled. In the segmented mode a separate trigger signal is required to successively fill each memory segment until all of the active memory is filled. In the pretrigger mode the board is armed and continuously fills the entire active memory until a stop trigger is detected, after which a programmed number of post trigger samples are taken before acquisition is terminated. The pretrigger mode may be used to see signal information both before and after the trigger signal.  Samples Settings There are several board settings that affect the quantity and method of acquiring samples.  Active Memory Size – In the "post-trigger modes" this is the number of samples that will be taken after which the memory will be considered "full" and the acquisition is terminated. When a full condition is detected, a flag is set which may be read by the PC or software selected to cause a PC interrupt or send an interrupt over the SAB. The amount of memory that is activated for data acquisition may be set from 8 bytes to the full 512 megabytes in steps of 8 bytes.  Segment Size – In Segmented Mode this is the number of samples that will be taken each time a valid trigger signal is detected.  Pretrigger Samples – In Single Shot or Segmented Modes, this is the number of samples that will be recorded into RAM that occurred before the trigger.  Delayed Trigger – This sets a delay between the actual applied trigger and the effective trigger for the board. The delay range is from 0 to 64k digitizer clock cycles. In Pretrigger Samples mode the delayed trigger setting establishes the number of post-trigger samples that will be recorded.  Time Stamps In Segmented Mode "time stamps" allow for storing the time relationship between the memory segments. Time Stamps are 32 bit timer values with a clock resolution of 7.5 nanoseconds. Up to 2048 time stamps are accumulated in memory separate from the data. Time stamps are read after the acquisition is completed.  SAB Operation The PDA14 can perform SAB data transfers at 64 bits, or at 32 bits over either the high (SABH) or low (SABL) bus ports. This provides flexibility when multiple boards are incorporated into a system. At 64 bits the maximum transfer rate is 500 MB/s.  PCI Operation The PDA14 is capable of sustaining a long-term data-transfer rate, over the PCI bus, of 250 megabytes per second when installed in a 64 bit PCI slot. It can also be installed in traditional 32-bit slots in which case the maximum rate is about 125 megabytes per second. Software, System, and Performance Details: Software The PDA14 is supplied with the following software: Windows NT/2000/XP and Linux Drivers C Function Library with source code PDA14 Class (C++) that wraps the Library functions and handles the tedious initializations and basic operations. Software manual that describes how to use the available library of functions to create larger applications or systems. A board diagnostics self test program. Multiple Coding examples  Acquire with DMA transfer to PC Digital oscilloscope interface software Using multiple PDA14 boards (with Master/Slave support) SAB data transfer examples Maestro support for the PDA14 Menu driven board settings for multiple PDA14 boards Using the PDA14 as a high-speed recording system Using the PDA14 as a high-speed recording system with the PMP8A (or any other SAB Active Slave capable device) Data Analysis tools for poking/peeking onboard memory System Capabilities The system solution offered by Signatec is based on supplying a comprehensive range of products incorporating the Signatec Auxiliary Bus.  This 64-bit bus provides transfer rates up to 500 MB/s. SAB boards act as modular building blocks for constructing high performance systems that mechanize a wide variety of applications. Shown in the figure below are elements of such a system. Many systems can be constructed using standard desktop PC's. For demanding applications Signatec can supply a total turnkey system utilizing one of our industrial computer systems.  Devices connected to the SAB may communicate via SAB interrupt and control lines. This allows the boards to accomplish multiple acquisition, transfer, and processing cycles under control of the signal processor device, without PC intervention. Bypassing the host bus and operating system can significantly improve system performance.
