The Redwave Labs Q210 is a PXIe format card that supports the addition of standard FMC cards. A Zynq dual ARM System on Chip can be programmed from either PCIe or USB.
The system is driven from a state machine inside an FPGA allowing for time-synchronous pulse sequences to be emitted.
The dual-arm processor and DRAM allow it to be used as a stand-alone device.
Multiple devices are synchronised with a common clock and trigger lines. Extra isolated GPIO allows control and triggering by external devices.
