The digitiser features two channels with an analogue bandwidth from DC to 500MHz, a large DDR3 memory for long acquisition time, and a very high data throughput with its PCIe 2.0 eight-lane interface. In addition, it includes a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA, which allows users to load custom real-time signal processing algorithms created with the development kit software.
The new PCIe high-speed digitiser focus is also on interoperability, reusability and upgradability. The software driver provided supports multiple programmable interfaces for easy integration of the data converter into existing environments. The versatility provided by the common architecture is further enhanced by the custom on-board signal processing. Companies and research institutions can implement their own algorithm as they develop technologies for high-end applications
