In collaboration with VELOMAT Messelektronik GmbH, FORTecH is developing a modular, FPGA-based hardware platform for multi-channel data acquisition, processing and output in the frequency range from MHz to GHz. The platform incorporates both AD and DA converters and serves as a versatile test environment for customer-specific software development – for example, for AI applications, HIL testing, control engineering or high-speed sensor and measurement systems.
Based on modern SoCs (system-on-chip), customisable measurement and data processing systems are being developed which are significantly more cost-effective than comparable desktop PC-sized systems (over €20,000) – and are therefore also suitable for widespread industrial use. An interface to MATLAB enables customers to create complex applications even without any programming knowledge of their own.
Standard measurement amplifiers and electronic units are usually pre-configured by the manufacturer – customisation is either rare or expensive. The platform developed here, by contrast, has a modular design from the ground up and can be flexibly adapted to customer-specific requirements and more complex data processing algorithms (e.g. AI algorithms).
