Complete Fully Integrated System Solutions for Signal Technology Applications
Signatec designs and manufactures state-of-the-art PC based products in four key signal technology areas:
●
DAQ - Data Acquisition Signal Waveform Digitizers
●
DSP - Parallel Digital Signal Processing
●
DAC - Signal Waveform Generation and Playback
●
REC - Real-Time Signal Waveform Recording
These products can be interconnected via Signatec's high-speed buses for efficient data throughput for real-time applications. Signatec's specially designed high-performance PC systems can house multiple interconnected boards for maximum system performance. Complimentary yet powerful system software is also provided for manipulating Signatec products at the individual board or at the system level. In short, Signatec customers receive a fully functional signal system right out of the box.
What separates Signatec's data acquisition signal waveform digitizer products from other similar products in the industry is the ability to acquire and transfer data simultaneously with no breaks in the analog record for high-speed waveform recording and real-time processing. Integrating Signatec's products together allows for the creation of a high-speed signal waveform recorder with unprecedented performance.
Our DAQ products are also designed with a master-slave operation feature that allows for connecting multiple DAQ boards together to create a simultaneous multi-channel acquisition system. In master-slave operation, the master board drives the clock and trigger signals for the slave boards so that data on the slave boards align sample-for-sample with the data on the master board.

Signatec's latest parallel DSP product, the PMP1000, delivers 72 GIPS of real-time processing performance using nine of TI's C6414 DSPs, the perfect solution for many demanding processing applications. This parallel DSP product also provides over 2000 MB/s of concurrent onboard I/O and the ability to combine any number of customer specific channels of data for up to 500 MB/s (1 GB/s specification pending) of continuous data input.
This parallel processing board is the perfect solution for many demanding processing applications. Combine the PMP1000 with our data acquisition cards to create an even more powerful real-time processing waveform recorder capable of sustaining uninterrupted transfers up to 500MB/sec to the PC or up to 400MB/sec to disk storage.
Our upcoming next generation arbitrary signal waveform generator board, the PDAC4000, provides four 16-bit digital to analog conversion (DAC) channels to accurately produce output signal frequencies up to 400 MHz; with each 16-bit converter capable of outputting up to 1000 megasamples per second. Its deep memory and easy interface to DSP functionality makes for a powerful waveform playback device.
Signatec products are used in wide variety of applications such as:
- High Speed Waveform Capture and Recording
- RADAR / LIDAR
- Ultrasound Medical Diagnostics & Non-Destructive Testing
- Communications
- Mass Spectroscopy
- Mass Spectrometry-Time of Flight
- Laser Doppler Velocimetry
- Data Fusion
- Software Defined Radio
- High-Speed Encryption/Decryption Transmitter/Receiver
- Net-centric Battlefield/Intelligence Systems
- Image Analysis
- Digital Video
- Data Compression
- All High Data-Throughput & Demanding Real Time Processing Applications
When you factor in all of Signatec's performance capabilities, and note the
comparable low cost of our boards/systems, Signatec delivers exceptional value
for the high-speed signal technology community. We encourage you to
contact us and discuss your application in more detail with our engineering
team. We welcome your comments on our existing products or possible future
products. On behalf of the entire Signatec team, we look forward to the
opportunity to serve you. Thank you.
