RS4

Data Streamer

The RS4 Data Streamer is a high performance data storage array designed to store data streamed from the RZ2, our most powerful processor for high channel count data acquisition. Off-loading data streaming tasks from an RZ2 to the RS4 improves real-time performance and allows you to acquire continuous data over several days or weeks. Access to the RS4 storage array can be provided through a network connection, direct connection to a PC, or data transfer to a USB storage device.

The RS4 allows streaming of up to 1024 16-bit channels at rates up to ~25 kHz and fewer channels at rates up to ~50 kHz. Streamed data is stored as individual channels and can be stored in different numeric formats (Short, Float, etc.). Stored data can be easily reincorporated into the OpenEx data tank format for post processing. The RS4 is available with either 4 terabytes or 8 terabytes of storage and features 1 or 4 streaming ports.

For custom programming and control of data streams using a PC or laptop, consider the PO8e/LO8e.
