The PDA16 is a dual channel waveform capture board that provides a remarkable combination of high speed and high resolution sampling along with a very large memory capacity. Signal frequencies up to 700 MHz can be accurately captured either in baseband or in higher order Nyquist zones using under-sampling techniques.
The PDA16 is a PCI/PCI-X 64-bit compatible board equipped with standard ‘Plug and Play’ features common in PCI systems. The entire 512 MB memory may be used as an exceptionally large FIFO for acquiring data directly to either the SAB or PCI bus continuously non stop. In either Buffered Acquisition Mode (where the 512 RAM FIFO is used) or Data Transfer Mode it is capable of sustaining 500 megabyte/sec transfers over the SAB and 640 megabyte/sec transfers over the PCI-X bus. Significant test data has shown that recordings with this large FIFO buffering the recording process can be continuous at the card’s full sampling rate even when operating in traditional non real-time environments such as the Windows operating system.
