Data Streaming

Introduction to Data Streaming
Read a white paper on streaming data to and from disk.

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 solutions that can sustain transfers at 600 MB/s for up to 3 terabytes of data. Individual modular instruments from NI are capable of:

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