High-Speed, Real-Time Recording Systems Handbook
Written by Rodger Hosking, Vice President and Co-founder of Pentek
In today’s world of high-speed A/D converters real-time signal recording has become a challenging task that requires specialized hardware and intelligent application software. When designing a real-time recorder capable of streaming sustained data to disk, the system developer has to consider the limitations presented by the recorder's disk drive technology, operating and file systems.
Fortunately for the application developer, serial fabrics have emerged to provide the high-speed interfaces required to move this data. Developing software that can take advantage of these new technologies presents a challenge that can be met by understanding some key concepts required to build a high-speed, real-time recording system.

High-Speed Real-Time Recording Systems
Talon High-Speed Recording Systems
eliminate the time and risk associated with
new technology system development. With
increasing pressure in both the defense and
commercial arenas to get to the market
first, today’s system engineers are looking
for more complete off-the-shelf system offerings.
Out of the box, these systems arrive
complete with a full-featured virtual operator
control panel ready for immediate data
recording and/or playback operation.
Because they consist of modular COTS
board-level products and flexible control
software, they are easily scalable to larger
multichannel data acquisition and recording
applications requiring sustained, aggregate
recording rates of up to 2 GB/sec.
For example, they can be used as the
data acquisition resource for embedded systems
in real-time digital signal processing
applications. A complete suite of software
development tools simplifies custom system
integration.
Systems Include:
- High-performance Windows® workstation
- High-performance Intel® Processor
- Pentek SystemFlow® recording software with graphical user interface
- SystemFlow virtual oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer
- Supported RAID levels of 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50
- Time stamping support
- Detailed technical documentation
Systems Benefits:
- Complete turnkey systems
- Rack-mountable and portable form factors
- C-callable API for integration of recorder into application
- Sustained recording rates of up to 2 GB/sec
- Recording to non-proprietary NTFS file system for easy and immediate data access
- Ideal for communications, radar, wireless, SIGINT, telecom and satcom
- They are easy to use right out-of-the-box
- They can be controlled over the Ethernet or over the Internet
Ready-to-Run Recording Systems
Depending on model, the Pentek offerings
are fully integrated systems featuring a
range of A/D and D/A resources or digital
I/O with high-speed disk arrays.
Since these systems are built on a
Windows workstation, users can easily install
post-processing and analysis tools to operate
on the recorded data.
Pentek systems provide a flexible architecture
that can be easily customized to
meet user needs. Multiple RAID levels of
0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50, provide a choice for the
required level of redundancy.
