Symmetricom Announces PCI Express Time and Frequency Processor Cards
November 12, 2009Symmetricom, Inc. today announced two PCI Express (PCIe) time and frequency computer plug-in cards.The bc635PCIe and the GPS synchronized bc637PCIe bring precise time and frequency functions to the latest computers and servers equipped with PCIe bus technology, the company said.
The PCIe timing cards are designed for customers with time-sensitive applications in the aerospace, defense, power utility, and financial industries for combining precise timing with their application-specific systems. Microsecond accurate timing synchronized across multiple computers enhances measurement capabilities and enables distributed applications to work in concert and in real time as well as improve the post-processing correlation of collected data, Symmetricom said.
These low-profile PCIe timing cards include software development kits (SDKs) and drivers for Windows, Linux, and Solaris that enable quick and easy integration into custom systems. The kits included with the cards enable programmers to integrate timing technology into their systems efficiently, said Paul Skoog, product marketing manager for Symmetricom. New capabilities of the PCI Express time and frequency processor cards include:
- Precision Time Stamps – provided on demand at extremely fast rates with low latency
- Easy PCIe Card Integration – the comprehensive software development kits, included standard with the product, make it easy to integrate the bus cards into custom applications with 32/64-bit Windows and Linux and 64-bit Solaris
- PCI Express Support – provides support for the low profile PCIe bus interface, the computer expansion card standard replacing older PCI and PCI-X standards
- Extensive Time Code Generation and Translation – IRIG A, B, G, E, IEEE 1344, NASA 36, XR3 or 2137 formats supported to address a variety of timing requirements common to aerospace, defense and power utility applications
- Industry Leading User Interface and Documentation – easy-to-use software interface and easy-to-follow documentation speed integration
- Easy Predecessor Migration – customer applications written around earlier bc635/637PCI cards can quickly and easily migrate to the new bc635/637PCIe cards; in most cases, as easy as plug-and-play compatibility
The PCI Express time and frequency processor cards will be available December 1, 2009.
