PCI/DSP-4

Four Complete Channels of Digital Acoustic Emission Data Acquisition on a Single Board

high speed high performance advanced parallel DSP

PCI/DSP-4The PCI/DSP-4 board is the heart of the DiSP System. Due to advances in surface mount technology and high density ASIC devices, we have been able to provide this single PCI card with 4 complete high-speed, channels of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based AE data acquisition, up to 8 parametric input channels (on the first card) and optional waveform module. Through the high performance PCI bus, significant AE data transfer speeds (up to 132 Megabytes/second) can be attained. This assures a wide bandwidth bus for multichannel AE data acquisition and waveform processing.

Since the 32-bit PCI bus has become the de-facto standard in all PC computers today, PCI/DSP-4 boards can be implemented inside your PC or inside one of PAC�s rugged, multichannel DiSP workstations.
