Description
The RTG001 is a self contained programmable data acquisition and processing system. It can be used stand alone or connected to a PC via
the USB 2.0 connection.
The fast A/D and D/A channels are directly connected to the user programmable FPGA, allowing data to be processed by a user FPGA
program. The FPGA can be used to perform digital processing between the analogue inputs and outputs, or the data can be passed to and
from a PC using the USB 2.0 connection and provided software.
The USB connection is supported via the Host-API software. This allows software applications and tools on the
Host PC to access the hardware using a consistent software interface without the need to understand or program the hardware or USB
directly.
The FPGA program can be loaded over the USB connection using a software tool that directly accepts the output from development tools for
the Xilinx FPGA. Alternatively a Xilinx JTAG cable (Parallel or USB) can be used to load the FPGA and or program the on board
configuration PROM.
The system is delivered ready to go with a power supply (requires an IEC lead specific to your country), USB cable, I/O cables and a CD
with all of your documentation, software tools and examples. Kane Computing also supply development tools for the Xilinx FPGA, for
example Xilinx Foundation ISE.
