Acquisition card makes the most of PCI
bandwidth
A 32-channel high-speed data acquisition card takes full advantage of the higher throughput capabilities of PCI 2.2 with its 64bit, 66MHz interface.
Continuing to upgrade its range of industry-leading solutions for applications in high frequency sonar, test and measurement and radar, ICS Sensor Processing - part of Radstone Embedded Computing - today announced the ICS-645B 32-channel high-speed data acquisition card Providing a new level of price/performance for the company's ICS-645 family, the ICS-645B takes full advantage of the higher throughput capabilities of PCI 2.2 with its 64bit, 66MHz interface, delivering four times the PCI bandwidth capacity, and the FPDP II interface delivers two and a half times (400Mbyte/s) the throughput of previous family members

Acquisition card cuts system complexity
The ICS-645D 32-channel data acquisition card bundles ADC, gain and antialias filtering resources in one PCI card and includes a programmable clock source onboard.
Ethernet switch meets US military requirements
Radstone Embedded Computing has released the CPX24 rugged managed Gigabit Ethernet switch.
"The ICS-645 product line has led the market for high-speed acoustic ADC boards since it was introduced", said Scott Hames, Director of Product Management at ICS.
"The announcement of the ICS-645B brings leading-edge performance to acoustic A/D applications while remaining highly affordable".
"We believe our customers will agree that the ICS-645B represents outstanding value for money".
With 32 single-ended input channels, simultaneously sampled (even in multi-card systems) by high-speed oversampling ADCs (Analog Devices AD9260) at sample rates up to 20Msample/s and a programmable clock source, the ICS-645B has been optimised to provide effective, streamlined functionality in a single full length PCI card.
The ICS-645B addresses the challenge of moving data back to the host processor or recorder by providing two high bandwidth data paths: the 64/66 PCI interface provides sustained aggregate datarates in excess of 300Mbyte/s, and the FPDP II port provides a dedicated connection to collect data from multiple cards.
16Mbyte of onboard storage is provided, allowing the ICS-645B to tolerate unpredictable interrupt latencies encountered in non-real-time operating systems.
Availability of the ICS-645B is immediate.
