Fiber Optic Interface

Fiber Optic Interface

The E1439D provides a fiber optic interface that can transmit continuous full bandwidth data from the internal A/D converter. In addition, it can stream data from multiple synchronized modules operating at lower bandwidths onto a single fiber optic channel. An optical receiver can then simultaneously analyze data collected at different frequencies and bandwidths.

The E1439D fiber optic interface uses a serial data stream protocol providing high data throughput and low latency characteristics. This protocol is intended to be compatible with the Serial Front Panel Data Port Draft Standard (VITA 17.1, draft 0.5 dated February 26, 2001) currently under development by the VITA Standards Organization (http://www.vita.com). VITA

17.1is not yet approved and manufacturers are not yet permitted to claim conformance to the draft standard. However, laboratory testing at Agilent Technologies has demonstrated interoperability of the E1439D with fiber optic products from other manufacturers that also intend to support the draft standard. These products include Systran Simplex Link Protocol products, such as the SL100 and SL240, and Mercury Computer products, such as the RINOJ-F RACEway I/O daughter card.

The following overview supplies the basic concepts required to use all the supported features. For details, see the descriptions of the API functions.
