Traditionally, PC-based waveform digitizers provide raw data to user
applications which then analyze the data on the host PC using techniques
such as peak detection. Often waveform data throughput exceeds the
capacity of the data bus or the speed of traditional peak detection analysis
routines. For these requirements, GaGe now offers on-board eXpert
Peak Detection Firmware for our new-generation high-performance
digitizer cards.
Captured data is stored directly to on-board Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) to provide peak information to the user
Data volume is greatly reduced so that PCI traffic is correspondingly
decreased
Peak information consists of the maximum and minimum values
within a waveform and their positions
Compact Channel Peak Information Set occupies a data volume of only 24
Bytes
Highly efficient PCI transfer of Peak Information Sets that are
accumulated in a circular buffer within the FPGA that is periodically
polled and flushed by the controlling software
Re-arm time within 3 microseconds after waveform acquisition
(or less for larger acquisitions)
Compatible with the CompuScope C/C# Software Development Kit
