Digital Signal Processing
Digital Signal Processing Digital signal processing routines can be conducted on raw signal data acquired by GaGe high-speed digitizers either directly on the onboard FPGA of the digitizer card via our eXpert FPGA firmware features or can be optionally conducted on GPU cards receiving real-time streaming of raw signal data acquired by GaGe high-speed digitizers via the PCIe interface. eXpert FPGA DSP Optional firmware features that allow for signal processing analysis or other specific functionality to be performed on the digitizer hardware itself within its onboard Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Features include [...]
FPGA DSP
GaGe provides several eXpert FPGA processing firmware options for use with CompuScope Digitizers. All standard default CompuScope Digitizer model configurations can store raw acquired waveform data to onboard sample memory and then transfer them quickly to the user for analysis, display and/or storage. The addition of optional eXpert FPGA processing firmware features allow for some signal processing analysis, or other specific functionality, to be performed on the digitizer hardware itself within its onboard Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). There are three primary advantages to the processing of waveform data using an eXpert firmware option. Data can be processed at [...]
Signatec Adds New Features to Its DsScope Signal Recording Software – Press Release 2023-01
Signatec Adds New Features to Its DsScope Signal Recording Software Popular signal recording application requires no programming; New features expand and enhance functionality Lockport, IL—January 12, 2023— Signatec, a US-based manufacturer of signal recording systems, announces three significant feature additions to its DsScope Windows-based signal recording software. DsScope is a Windows-based PC oscilloscope application that requires no programming and allows the operator to: view/edit all digitizer hardware settings, display the acquired signal data for analysis, and conduct real-time signal recording monitored operations to drive storage. The new feature upgrades are designed to expand and enhance the [...]
GaGe Application Note: Creating a Data Link Signal Integrity Test Platform
Creating a Data Link Signal Integrity Test Platform This application note describes how a manufacturer of data links utilizes GaGe Instruments’ PC-based high-speed data acquisition digitizers to perform production-level signal integrity testing. Data Link Device Testing The data link device under test (Figure 1) is characterized by comparing test signals that are input to the link with signals measured at the link output. Differences between these two test signals indicate a degradation by the link during transmission. The input and output test signals require sampling at 1 GS/s (GigaSample per second) with at least 14-bit vertical resolution. [...]

GaGe Whitepaper: Real-Time High-Speed Data Acquisition on PC-Based System Platforms
GaGe Whitepaper: Real-Time High-Speed Data Acquisition on PC-Based System Platforms By Gerald Allgaier, Systems Specialist and Bob Fitzgerald, Application Specialist - Vitrek For many measurements that require the capture and processing of analog data, data throughput speed and conversion resolution are the two most important considerations. Typical examples include Radar, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Ultrasound Imaging, Non- Destructive Testing (NDT), Mass Spectroscopy / Time-of-Flight (TOF), and Production Test. These test applications usually demand high speed data transfer rates. So typically, Digitizers (A/D) or Arbitrary Waveform Generators (D/A) residing on a high-speed backplane are required. These [...]
