    Calibration Calibration is the process of minimizing measurement errors by making small circuit adjustments. All ATS9364 digitizers come factory calibrated to the levels indicated in Appendix A - Specifications. Note that AlazarTech calibration is fully NIST- or CNRC- traceable. However, your digitizer needs to be periodically recalibrated in order to maintain its specified accuracy.

  • Page 82: Streaming Data Across The Bus

    Copyright © 2024 Alazar Technologies Inc. Streaming Data Across the Bus One of the most unique features of the ATS9364 is its on-board, dual-port acquisition memory that can act as a very deep Data FIFO and the associated Dual-DMA engine.
  • Page 83 This requires a software handshake which is heavily dependent on the operating system response time. ATS9364 solves this problem by providing a FIFO and an advanced dual-DMA engine that can stream data to PC host memory at up to 3 GB/s (exact rate is motherboard dependent).
  • Page 84 Software still has to get involved in re-arming the hardware after every capture and again for reading the data from on-board acquisition memory. ATS9364’s proprietary AutoDMA circuitry allows the acquisition system to be re- armed by a hardware command and data transfer to be initiated by the hardware itself, thus removing virtually all “in-process”...
  • Page 85 NPT AutoDMA can easily acquire data to PC host memory at the maximum sustained transfer rate of the motherboard without causing an overflow. This is the recommended mode of operation for most ultrasonic scanning, OCT and medical imaging applications. ATS9364 User Manual...
  • Page 86 Continuous AutoDMA is also known as the data streaming mode. In this mode, data starts streaming across the PCI bus as soon as the ATS9364 is armed for acquisition. It is important to note that triggering is disabled in this mode.

  • Page 88: Data Packing

    Copyright © 2024 Alazar Technologies Inc. Data Packing By default, ATS9364 stores 12-bit data acquired by its on-board A/D converters as a 16-bit integer. Users can also choose to pack the data as 12-bit integers or even 8-bit integers. Being able to reduce the total amount of data being transferred can be very useful in data recording applications.
