The PDA14 Digitizer Board is a dual channel waveform digitizer capture board which provides a tremendous combination of high speed and high resolution along with an extremely large memory capacity. The entire 512 MB memory may be used as a giant FIFO for acquiring data directly to either the SAB or PCI bus. Tests have shown that a very large FIFO memory is required to prevent data loss when performing continuous data streaming over the PCI bus.

The PDA14 Digitizer Board is a 64-bit PCI compatible DAQ board equipped with standard 'Plug and Play' features common in PCI systems. This data acquisition board is capable of Bus Master DMA data transfers at up to a peak of 266 megabytes/second and a sustained rate of 250 megabytes/second. It can also operate in 32-bit PCI slots in which case the transfer rate will be limited to about 125 megabytes per second.

The PDA14 digitizer board incorporates the advanced Signatec Auxiliary Bus (SAB) that allows for data transfers of up to 500 megabytes/second. This allows for the high-speed transfer of data to fast processor boards, such as Signatec's PMP1000, or other peripherals. The SAB also incorporates device control features for operating the PDA14 independent of the host PC bus.
