High-bandwidth PXI data streaming solution

12 December 2011 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies announced the availability of superior streaming capability for the M9392A PXI vector signal analyser (VSA) and M9202A digitiser, providing the industry’s highest bandwidth, PXI-based, continuous data capture (up to 100& MHz bandwidth) to a RAID storage solution.

Data streaming over long durations enables customers to capture, detect and analyse signals of interest from their measurement environment. The new data capture solution allows customers to use the Agilent 89600B vector signal analysis software to characterise complex, time-varying signals or a customer-developed data analysis tool.

Specifically designed for continuous, gapless data capture of wideband signals for post-capture analysis, the M9392A and M9202A streaming capabilities are ideal for customers requiring up to 100 MHz of measurement bandwidth for frequencies up to 26,5 GHz. Data capture can occur either directly to the embedded or external controller for short-duration capture of a few seconds, or to a RAID for long-duration capture lasting from several minutes to greater than 13 hours, depending on the storage size of the RAID and the desired measurement bandwidth.

For long-duration data capture applications, Agilent has teamed with JMR Electronics, an industry leader in data storage, to provide several different RAID storage solutions that guarantee the sustained data rates necessary for 100 MHz of IQ bandwidth. The storage solution is based upon JMR’s BlueStor product line.
