Firmware
-
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an ideal fit for data acquisition systems as they offer unparalleled real-time signal processing power. Moving functionality from the host PC to the on-board FPGAs helps offload the PCs central processing unit (CPU) and relaxes data transfer rate requirements. This capability is key in achieving the performance levels needed in many of today's leading-edge applications.All our data acquisition and generation modules host Xilinx FPGAs and are delivered with pre-installed general data acquisition firmware (for ADQ7 and ADQ14 we refer to this firmware as "FWDAQ"). In addition to the standard/default firmware, we also offer optional firmware development kits (available for all models) and application-specific firmware packages (available for ADQ7 and ADQ14 only). More information about these below.

Firmware for High-speed HDLC Mode
OP-FW10
-
OP-FW10 is firmware to upgrade protocol analyzer LE-7200/LE-3200 to dedicated analyzer that is specialized for High-speed HDLC communication up to 10Mbps. By installing this OP-FW10 to LE-7200/LE-3200, HDLC measurement processing such as the trigger and filter that were processed by software of the analyzer can be replaced to the hardware processing by FPGA built in the analyzer. Therefore, a maximum speed of HDLC supported is vastly improved. After installation of OP-FW10, You can switch to the usual firmware that supports multi protocol by pressing “SHIFT” and “0” keys at the same time when turning on the power of the analyzer. Therefore, it saves you trouble to reinstall firmware.

Digital Down-Conversion Firmware
FW2DDC
-
FW2DDC equips ADQ7WB and ADQ7DC with real-time functions commonly used in radio frequency (RF) receivers. It also contains the proprietary ADX technology which corrects mismatch errors in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADCs) and thereby ensure industry-leading spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). The digital signal processing also helps reduce the data rate to a manageable level in order to simplify data post-processing and storage.

Portable Sequence Generator for Verification, Firmware & Validation
ISequenceSpec
-
The complexity of modern SoC has raised the requirement for HW/SW co-simulation to catch the bugs from the early design stage. There is lack of common set of sequences which can be shared across the teams. ISepenceSpec helps design teams to generate the unified test and programming sequences in UVM and Firmware from the specification. ISequenceSpec uses the register information from importing the standard formats like IP-XACT, SystemRDL, XML. User can define the test sequences in a simple editor, and then generate the unified test sequences from verification to validation.

The WECO 9000 Warm-Up Board from Radian Research provides a safe, easy to use, affordable solution to your AMI meter functional testing. The WECO 9000 originated as part of RADIAN Innovate™ Custom Design Solutions. Numerous process improvement workshops RADIAN facilitated at electric utilities have shown us that meter shops are experiencing as low as 65% pass yield on AMI meter testing. This means almost half the meters arriving are transported through the testing process and not ready for accuracy testing. Typical failures include inoperable display, diagnostic errors, disconnect switch in an open state, wrong firmware version, and inability to register on the communications network.
