Awards for high-speed capture system

The DAQStreaming-A1 high-speed capture system has won the 2004 Taiwan Symbol of Excellence Award and has been nominated for 2004 National Gold Award of Excellence.

The DAQStreaming-A1 high-speed capture system has won the 2004 Taiwan Symbol of Excellence Award and has been nominated for 2004 National Gold Award of Excellence The DAQStreaming-A1 is a revolutionary turnkey system for high-speed data recording that takes advantage of advanced software technologies and the high data throughput of SCSI devices to meet the needs of high-speed, real-time, and sustained data recording with up to 40Mbyte/s data throughput

James Gau, Director of Test and Measurement Product Segment of Adlink, reckons that compared with existing solutions that use proprietary hard disk control cards, DAQStreaming-A1 integrates commercial SCSI devices with advanced software techniques to provide affordable price and great extendibility.

Users may extend the duration of data recording to a maximum of 1.5 hours maximally by mounting additional SCSI drives.

In addition to its flexible hardware architecture, DAQStreaming system also defines complete software architecture to allow users to customise their applications and process the acquired data.

For some applications, such as signal surveillance, vibration testing, destructive test and etc, users need to acquire and record input data for a long period in real time.

Furthermore, signals in these applications are usually high frequency signals, which means users need to acquire these signals with high sampling rates and generate large volumes of data.

For example, if using a 20Msample/s sampling rate to acquire signals in the process of destructive testing, the DAQ device will generate 40Mbyte of data per second.

How to store such a high volume of data for a long period of time is always a challenge due to the limitation of disk speed and the overhead of file system.

A traditional solution is to use proprietary hardware to achieve high data recording throughput.

However, the proprietary solution generates high cost.

The DAQStreaming-A1 is an innovative high-speed data recording equipment.

By integrating Adlink's high-speed DAQ card and commercial SCSI storage devices with Adlink's advanced software technologies, DAQStreaming-A1 provides up to 20Msample/s sampling rate for analogue signals and up to 1.5 hours recording duration.

As a ready-to-run high-speed data recording equipment, DAQStreaming-A1 has the user-friendly interface for users to easily perform the data recording process with only few mouse clicks.

These impressive features make DAQStreaming-A1 suitable for recording high-speed signals for a long period of time.

Another important feature is that DAQStreaming-A1 is all constructed by commercial components and Adlink's advanced software technologies, which makes it can be delivered to customers in affordable price. Request a free brochure from Adlink Technology ...
