Enclosure simplifies VPX integration
The Vmetro VPX/VXS portable tower gives engineers and software developers a head start on their integration and application development.
"We have been very pleased with Vmetro and would consider them again for future projects".
The digitiser and recording system comprises a SC240 VME-based digitiser for analogue to digital conversion, Open-MDR VME-based data recorders for recording digitiser data streams, an Open-Marlin PC-based data recorder for recording GPS metadata, as well as high-performance Fibre Channel SAN-based storage arrays used for data storage.
System control is provided by the Open-Marlin via a browser-based GUI.
The system is distinguished by its ease of use, powerful high-speed sustained recording capability and its highly flexible SAN architecture which allows scaling without the need for forklift upgrades.
Coupled with the performance capabilities of Acqiris' Streamer-Analyser technology this system can be easily scaled to support sustained data recording performance of 2Gsample/s.
"Using Vmetro's Open Recorder and Fibre Channel SAN products we are able, in a matter of weeks, to deploy a browser driven GUI that manages our data recorders and SAN along with 3rd party digitiser and GPS card", said Tom Bohman, Vmetro's Vice President of Business Development.
"For our customer, this means dramatically reduced cost and time-to-market not to mention easy scalability to three times the current performance requirement".
"The COTS market has an ongoing need for better and faster data acquisition systems", said Didier Lavanchy, Vice President of Marketing at Acqiris.
"Vmetro is a long-time leader in providing embedded, high-performance systems and components and we are confident that our Waveform Digitiser products will meet those performance requirements". Request free introductory details about products from Vmetro ...
