Chapter 2

Signal Acquisition Modes and Real-Time
Processing

Thanks to the powerful Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA, the SA230E enables real-time signal pre-
processing on the sampled data e.g. data compression or noise reduction. This allows to save
analysis time and make the user application running faster. Acqiris proposes various firmware and
real-time processing features in the FPGA, so on-board processing can be optimized for each
application and eventually for each of your system.

This section details the acquisition modes.

2.1 Digitizer acquisition mode

18

2.2 Real-time averaging mode (AVG option)

22

2.3 Real-time peak-listing mode (PKL option)

28

The modes available with your product depends on the firmware options ordered with your products.
To check which options and mode are present on your ADC module you can use the MD3 Software
Front Panel from the:

Windows Start Menu > Acqiris > MD3 > Acqiris MD3 SFP

. Then use the

menu

Help > About

. The field

System Options

gives the option list.

Easy mode switch

A simple change of acquisition mode allows to automatically switch, for instance, from the digitizer
to the average mode. The corresponding firmware switches automatically.
