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 2.5Gbits/s 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. Two different storage options are available:
- Fibre Channel disk arrays at a guaranteed aggregate data rate of up to 800Mbytes/s per 6U VME slot.
- VXS SATA Storage carrier at a guaranteed aggregate data rate of up to 700Mbytes/s.
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 at up to 1.6Gbytes/s and beyond.
