Software speeds data acquisition development

Customers can use proven and supported IP cores from VadaTech along with open source code to quickly customize a digitiser for their application.

Data acquisition systems are used in applications such as military signals intelligence (SIGINT), experimental particle accelerators, test and measurement, diagnostics, condition monitoring and industrial automation.

The software offers a graphical interface for the simplest development or can be integrated with larger applications using the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS).

This gives developers full flexibility to implement a standalone digitizer with GUI, an EPICS input/output controller (IOC) or customise the software to suit their specific application.

VadaTech provides sample designs with source code for typical usage models to give developers the fastest start in building a data acquisition system.

Ian Shearer, head of product marketing for VadaTech and managing director of VadaTech Ltd, said: “We have engineers and scientists in nearly every industry, application, and region of the world using VadaTech data acquisition products. This new DAQ-Series software will make it easier and faster for them to build a complete solution with confidence in the technology, while retaining the flexibility of open standards. We are now rolling out this software capability across our hardware offering from the lab to the battlefield.”
