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.

Powerful Real-Time Acquisition, Processing, Recording and Playback

This parallel processing board is the perfect solution for many demanding processing applications.  Combine the PMP1000 with our data acquisition signal waveform digitizer boards to create an even more powerful real-time processing high-speed waveform recorder capable of sustaining uninterrupted transfers up to 500MB/sec to the PC or up to 400MB/sec to disk storage.

X-PORT - Multi-Port Communications Interface Module for PMP1000

X-PORT - Multi-Port Communications Interface Module!

Signatec's X-PORT is a multi-port communications module with a customizable FPGA that can be plugged onto the PMP1000 to provide all around flexibility for general purpose communications.  The X-PORT is ideal for applications that must inject time or position information into digitized signal data records the PMP1000 is processing with:

    ● RJ45 Connectors for Gigabit Ethernet and RS232

    ● Definable 26-pin Digital I/O Header with Direct
       Pin Connections to Onboard FPGA

    ● Open Source Virtex-4 FX-12 FPGA with Power PC

    ● Logic Files

Use our powerful Maestro System Software for manipulating Signatec products at the board or at the system level.  Maestro can be used to setup all hardware settings, record data from arbitrary data acquisition boards, recreate analog signals, view large amounts of signal data, run DSP applications, and much more.  In addition each Signatec product comes with the following software at no charge:

    ● Product installation software
    ● A complete Library of functions for developing user specific applications
    ● Source code for the Signatec function library
    ● Source code examples that illustrate how to use the function library for building applications
    ● Diagnostic executable programs for verifying product functionality
    ● Signatec's Integrator software for application development and debugging (DSP Products only)

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 one of our engineering team.  Signatec can provide tailored custom hardware and software solutions to meet your specific application needs.

We welcome your comments on our existing products or possible future products.  Thank you for your interest in Signatec.  We look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
