SystemFlow Architecture

Server/Client ArchitectureAs shown in the block diagram, theSystemFlow architecture provides foreasy communication between therecording system Server on the rightand the Client PC on the left.

Function LibrariesThe function libraries and tools forcontrolling the recording andplayback functions include theApplication Programming Interface,the Graphical User Interface and theintegrated Signal Viewer.

SystemFlow APIThe SystemFlow API allows developersto configure and customize the systeminterfaces and operation. Source code issupplied for all client API functions. Awell-defined set of plugins allows theuser to extend server API functions.

Server/Client CommunicationServer and Client communicatethrough a standard socket connection.This arrangement enables the Serverto provide real-time recording andplayback functions that can becontrolled from a local or a remoteClient. It also allows Client andServer to run on different operatingsystems.

SystemFlow GUIThe SystemFlow architecture features aWindows-based GUI (Graphical UserInterface) that provides a simple meansto configure and control the system.Custom configurations can be stored asprofiles and later loaded when needed,allowing the user to select preconfiguredsettings with a single click.

SystemFlow Signal ViewerSystemFlow also includes signal viewingand analysis tools that allow the user tomonitor the signal prior to, during, andafter a recording session. These toolsinclude a virtual oscilloscope and avirtual spectrum analyzer. More infor-mation on the Signal Viewer is providedon the next page.

NTFS File SystemThe NTFS file management systemprovides immediate access to the recordeddata, thereby eliminating time-consum-ing data conversion processes requiredwith proprietary file managementsystems. It also eliminates the need forcustom hardware and software platformswhere the recorded data may need to bephysically transported for conversion.

SystemFlow Graphical User Interface

SystemFlow Signal ViewerThe SystemFlow Signal Viewer includes a virtual oscillo-

scope and spectrum analyzer for signal monitoring in boththe time and frequency domains. It is extremely useful forpreviewing live inputs prior to recording, and for monitoringsignals as they are being recorded to help ensure successfulrecording sessions. The viewer can also be used to inspectand analyze the recorded files after the recording is complete.

SystemFlow Hardware Configuration InterfaceThe Hardware Configuration Interface provides a simple

and intuitive means for setting up the system parameters.The DDC configuration screen shown here, provides entries forinput source, center frequency, decimation, as well as gateand trigger information. All parameters contain limit-checking and integrated help to provide an easier-to-useout-of-the-box experience.

SystemFlow Recorder InterfaceThe Recorder Interface provides the user with a control

interface for the recording system. It includes Configuration,Record, Playback and Status screens, each with intuitive con-trols and indicators. The user can easily move between screensto set configuration parameters, control and monitor a record-ing, play back a recorded signal and monitor board temperatureand voltage levels. The signal viewer, integrated into the record-ing GUI, allows the user to monitor real-time signals or signalsrecorded on disk.

Advanced signal analysis capabilities include automaticcalculators for signal amplitude and frequency, second andthird harmonic components, THD (total harmonic distortion)and SINAD (signal to noise and distortion). With time andfrequency zoom, panning modes and dual, annotated cursorsto mark and measure points of interest, the SystemFlowSignal Viewer can often eliminate the need for a separateoscilloscope or spectrum analyzer in the field.

Recording and Playback Dataflow

Shown in this diagram is the dataflowduring a typical recording session. ThePentek Transceiver Board contains a 2-chan-nel 200 MHz A/D for digitizing two inputanalog channels. The digitized outputs aredownconverted by the two DDCs (DigitalDownconverters) and moved on to the PCsystem memory via the PCI Express inter-

face. Both the DDCs and the PCIe interfaceare implemented in the board’s FPGA.Data then moves from the system memoryto the Recording System RAID Controllerand is then recorded to disk via the SATAinterface. DMA controllers conduct all datatransfers, bypasssing the CPU for guaranteedreal-time operation.

Recording Dataflow

Playback Dataflow During a playback session, data storedon disk moves through the SATA interfaceof the Playback System RAID Controller.From there, data is passed to the PC systemmemory through the PCIe interface andthen to the Pentek Transceiver board throughits PCIe interface, all via hardware DMAcontrollers for real-time operation.

This board also contains DUCs (DigitalUpconverters) which upconvert the data tothe original IF frequency bands. Two 800 MHzD/As convert the data to analog form andprovide signals that are identical to theanalog signals that were originally recorded.

These can be further analyzed with anyWindows-compatible analysis software.

Model RTR 2749 Ultra Wideband One- or Two-Channel RF/IF, 3.2 GS/secRugged Rackmount Recorder

General InformationThe Talon® RTR 2749 is a turnkey system,

used for recording high-bandwidth signals.The RTR 2749 uses 12-bit, 3.6 GHz A/Dconverters and can provide sustainedrecording rates up to 3.2 GB/sec. It can beconfigured as a one- or two-channel systemand can record sampled data, packed as8-bit-wide consecutive samples, or as16-bit-wide consecutive samples (12-bitdigitized samples residing in the 12 MSBsof the 16-bit word.)

The RTR 2749 uses Pentek’s high-powered Virtex-6-based Cobalt® boardsthat provide the data streaming enginefor the high-speed A/D converters.Channel and packing modes as well asgate and trigger settings are among theGUI-selectable system parameters,providing complete control over thisultra wideband recording system.

Optional GPS time and position stamp-ing allows the user to capture this criticalinformation in the header of each data file.




SystemFlow also includes signal view-ing and analysis tools that allow the user tomonitor the signal prior to, during, and
