PCI Express (PCIe) Data Streaming Firmware

Unlock Real-Time, High-Speed Data Streaming with PCIe FPGA Performance

Accelerate data acquisition and analysis with PCI Express (PCIe) data streaming firmware purpose-built to deliver uninterrupted, high-speed waveform streaming directly from GaGe CompuScope digitizers to your PC RAM. Eliminate the delays of traditional memory-based capture and gain the ability to stream data continuously or in segmented mode without stopping acquisition. Whether you’re feeding high-performance CPUs or advanced GPUs for live signal processing, or streaming directly to disk for uninterrupted data logging, this firmware transforms your system into a real-time, high-efficiency acquisition powerhouse.

Designed for applications requiring sustained throughput and ultra-low latency, this firmware gives engineers in defense, aerospace, communications, and industrial R&D the edge needed to manage high-bandwidth workflows without overflow or bottlenecks. Get the precision and responsiveness you need for your next-generation test setups, all while maintaining full compatibility with Windows and Linux systems.

  • Direct-to-RAM Streaming via PCIe:
    Move waveform data in real time from the digitizer to host PC memory using high-speed DMA transfer—no stop-and-wait delays.
  • Dual Streaming Modes:
    Choose Continuous Mode for seamless, trigger-free streaming, or Segmented Mode to capture waveform bursts with precise pre- and post-trigger windows.
  • Stream to CPUs, GPUs, or Disk:
    Route data directly to host processors for signal analysis or to high-speed drives for uninterrupted recording—ideal for signal intelligence and live diagnostics.
  • Overcome Onboard Memory Limits:
    Stream beyond the digitizer’s onboard memory capacity and capture hours of uninterrupted data at gigasample rates.
  • Smart FIFO Buffering:
    Dynamically manage data flow using the digitizer’s memory as a flexible FIFO buffer to prevent data loss during OS latency or transfer pauses.
  • Robust Against Overflow:
    System automatically flags FIFO overflow if host limitations are exceeded—giving you full control over stream integrity.
  • No Custom Software Required:
    Integrates seamlessly with GaGe’s CompuScope digitizer drivers and C/C# SDKs, including ready-to-use streaming programs.
  • Compatible with Leading PCIe FPGA Platforms:
    Supports major GaGe digitizer families including EON Express, RazorMax, Octave, and more for powerful FPGA PCI Express performance.
  • Ideal for FPGA High-Speed Data Streaming Applications:
    Enables continuous or burst-mode capture for radar, medical imaging, telecommunications, and scientific research.
