BANGALORE: Mistral Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a provider of complete technology solutions and professional services in the embedded space, announced the availability of the Rapid Replay, an product from Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC) that allows to record and playback streaming Serial FPDP data or simply retrieve the recorded data from storage.

The company said in a statement that the Rapid Replay utilizes the ANSI / VITA 17.1-2003 Serial FPDP standard protocol, which is being used by leaders in signal-to processor technology worldwide.

It records Serial FPDP input data onto one or more Fibre Channel JBODs. The user can then playback the stored data in Serial FPDP format to a digital signal processor for later analysis. In addition, the same data can be retrieved directly off storage via Fibre Channel by multiple computers using dissimilar operating systems.

Utilizing a single input channel, Rapid Replay records streaming data at 245 MB/s. Since the system is scalable, the user can add additional input channels for additional system bandwidth. A dual channel system will yield 490 MB/s, a quad channel system 760 MB/s.

Rapid Replay's inputs come equipped with 850nm optical transceivers. 1310nm, 1550nm optical and HSSDC2 transceivers are available options. Rapid Replay provides playback in Serial FPDP format as well.

Rapid Replay utilizes ANSI X3.230-1994 Fibre Channel to record and retrieve stored data. Each storage channel stores data at 200 MB/s. Like the input channels, storage channels are scalable to quad channel performance (800 MB/s).

For direct retrieval, users can specify data by frame number or time interval. Systems retrieving this data can use different operating systems. The raw data is recovered from the Fibre Channel JBOD and reconstructed in order. Additionally, the retrieval system can read previously recorded data as new data is being recorded.
