PDXI-MF Data Acquisition

To allow all these I/O subsystems to run simultaneously without loading down the host CPU, PDXI-MF Series cards run under the control of a Motorola DSP. Thus you can collect analog samples while generating waveforms yet have the resources to perform digital I/O and run the counter/timers - all at the same time. Operating in this fashion presents no constraints on setup parameters, either: a custom PGIA (programmable-gain instrumentation amplifier) design runs any or all channels at different gains without the need to trade off peak throughput rate or accuracy.

We supply a complete set of drivers for all popular programming languages and third-party applications including LabVIEW and Agilent VEE - and at no additional charge. The support package also comes with example programs, complete with source code, that are so extensive that some of them might be enough to solve your problem straight out of the box.

To achieve optimum data acquisition performance under Windows, we wrote the boards' 32-bit driver from scratch without relying on any legacy code. This advanced protocol-based driver works with shareable buffers in system RAM and makes obsolete traditional register-based drivers and double-buffering schemes. PDXI-MF Series boards can stream data to disk continuously, gap-free, at the hardware's peak acquisition rates.
