New: - To analyze, demodulate and detect signals a new wideband FFT with a bandwidth of 192 kHz was added.
- All inputs are on a separate piggy pack module, for more flexibility and special requirements.
- Connector for direct DSP communication and for hardware extensions.
To decode and analyze signal transmissions the W51PC is equipped with two Digital Signal Processors (DSP’s). The DSP's with their power and efficiency allow the realization of real-time demodulators. The large memory allows a sufficient data buffering, allowing you to run multiple cards on the same computer. Another part of the W51PC application runs on the PC, making the whole computing power of the PC available for the data processing. The W51PC application software can utilize DCOM to communicate with the W51PC hardware over the network. Up to eight W51PC cards can be plugged into a single PC, providing basis for a high performance signal decoding system. This combined with the network capabilities allows a system to be extended for many possible configurations. Complex systems for massive data handling are only limited by the performance of the used computers and the network. Operation over a network is completely transparent to the user. Configuration of system components can be completely adapted to particular needs. A W51PC card can be controlled from everywhere and its output can be sent to one or more applications on the network. Any PC can be set up as a management console to control a whole network. Any PC can be used to remote control W51PC cards (decoding, storing, hard disk recording, analyzing etc). To realize such configurations high performance networks are recommended. The W51PC application is a full 32-bit Microsoft® Windows™ application providing a familiar user interface and system functions. This has the advantage of automatically supporting graphics adaptors, printers and other functions that are supported by the operating system. Multi-window display capabilities make it possible to view different signals or to compare different analysis representations of a single signal simultaneously. The availability of sophisticated software development tools allows the rapid implementation of new functions. To process data output, control the hardware and the mode parameters of the W51PC, a software interface (DCOM) is implemented. It allows the direct integration of the W51PC into customer applications. The easy-to-use man-machine interface with clearly structured pull-down menus allows an operator to become familiar with the W51PC in a short time. A high degree of operator proficiency can quickly be achieved. All of the integrated analysis tools contain different measuring methods and viewing options. It helps you to examine the important signal parameters in detail. The W51PC reaches a unique precision and operates with highest resolutions. It is easy to make exact measurements using adjustable cursors with associated numerical displays. Dynamic zoom functions allow magnification of details in any selected window. Scroll buffering makes it possible to move back and forward within signal history. Real-time FFT functions with a fast display refresh rate are realized with high speed Motorola® DSP’s. Additional functions provide powerful tools especially suitable for analyzing unknown signals. A wide range of default system settings can be configured. Some examples are, input signal level, sampling rate, measuring interval, center frequency and demodulator. Additionally a variety of international alphabets can be selected. More than 110 modes are currently implemented. A variety of different alphabets are included in the standard package. We can deliver to authorized official bodies: - Additional modes
- Software source code and the complete development environment.
This allows the customer to realize own decoding modes or to adapt the user interface to specific requirements.
Product development is an ongoing process, and additional modes and functions are continually being added. [TOP] |
