Newsletter - Real-time waveform averaging firmware

​​​​

FWATD is now available for the ADQ3 series. 

Today we announce FWATD for the ADQ3 series. The FWATD firmware is designed to operate constantly over a long time in a system which maximizes the performance. The FWATD firmware contains multiple features to support the data transport and processing.

ADQ3-FWATD features:

• One instance per analog input channels
• Full sampling rate per channel
• Sample skip support to increase measurement length
• DBS – digital baseline stabilizer to reduce pattern noise
• Digital FIR filter for bandwidth limitation
• Threshold function for suppressing noise
• FIR filter for threshold control for pulse shape selection
• Seamless averaging for continuous operation at high duty cycle
• Dual gain PDRX firmware in combination with averaging (separate license may apply)
• 7 GByte/s sustained data streaming to CPU and GPU

The FWATD advantages are:

• Efficient implementation of averaging in the FPGA off-loading the PC
• Four noise reduction methods
• Optimized for real-time processing and high data throughput
• Teledyne SP Devices’ design services are available for fast integration to reduce time-to-market
