Data Streaming

Creating High-Performance Data Streaming Systems
View a webcast on how to create high-performance stream to and from disk system with up to 2.8 GB/s data rates.

High-speed data streaming is the act of transferring data between an instrument and memory, either on a host PC or on a hard disk drive. National Instruments offers data-streaming devices that can sustain transfers at 750 MB/s for up to 12 terabytes of data. You can use multiple data storage devices to create systems with up to 2.8 GB/s of streaming to and from disk data rates with more than 48 terabytes of storage space. Individual modular instruments from NI are capable of the following:

  • 250 MS/s (500 MB/s) time-domain acquisition
  • 100 MS/s (200 MB/s) arbitrary waveform generation
  • 50 MHz bandwidth (250 MB/s) radio frequency (RF) recording and playback
  • 200 MHz digital pattern acquisition and generation

Featured Data-Streaming Applications

RF Recording and Playback

Learn about real-time streaming of radio frequency (RF) signals to and from disk. Related applications include spectral (spectrum) monitoring and signal intelligence.

IF/Baseband Streaming

Obtain information on intermediate frequency (IF) and baseband time domain signal streaming to and from disk.

Noise Mapping

Learn about high-channel-count sensor arrays that spatially locate sources of noise and vibration. This application is also known as acoustic imaging.
