Data Acquisition System

Data Acquisition systems allow for automatic collection of data from sensors, instruments and systems. They are commonly available in PCI compatible form factors and are used in the laboratory, factory floor, etc.

Integration made possible by FPGA logic has reduced the cost of such systems while allowing the end user to tailor the configuration of the FPGA logic to the application.

The ispXP is an ideal solution to data acquisition applications allowing for hot socketing, secure programming, instant on at power up, and infinite reconfigurability.
