Many embedded systems designers who develop signal intelligence, RADAR, SONAR or image processing applications are standardizing on Serial Front Panel Data Port (sFPDP) as a method of transferring digitized data between sensors and processors at rates of up to 2.5Gbps per channel. A significant number of these applications require a quick and cost effective way to permanently store and retrieve captured data using the sFPDP protocol. To address this need, Curtiss-Wright has designed, configured and delivered a VME-based quad channel sFPDP data recorder.
This application targeted pre-programmed recorder is compatible with Curtiss-Wright’s entire range of data recording hardware and software products. The system supports recording and playback of up to four channels of fibre-optic sFPDP data via Fibre Channel disk arrays at a guaranteed aggregate data rate of up to 800Mbytes per second per 6U VME slot. Increased channel densities can be achieved through the addition of duplicate system configurations in the same chassis which will result in a linear increase in throughput performance to 1.6Gbytes/sec and beyond.
