A new application note posted on the Strategic Test website describes how to optimise the configuration of a host PC to obtain the fastest streaming to or from hard disks when using digitiser or arbitrary waveform generator PCI cards Continuous gap-free streaming of up to 200Mbyte/s is possible using COTS motherboards, RAID controller and fast S-ATA hard disks

The Zeon StrongARM computer board is optimised for embedded industrial and automotive applications.
For example, such a system would make it possible to record or generate a single 200Msample/s analogue signal with 8bit resolution for up to 1 hour, or a 10Msample/s signal for 20 hours.
Currently, the only other products offering this performance are based on high-end disk controllers costing at least US $8000.
The document provides benchmarks of tests carried out using Strategic Test's UltraFast cards with a variety of PC motherboards and outlines some of the technical problems that can be encountered and possible solutions.
This information can also be useful to users of other manufacturer's.
Until now such information was not publicly available.
