CORSIGHT is a complete embedded PC system built around intel Atom processor (Atom E3845 1.91GHz) of the intel embedded roadmap. Any of the wide choice of NETβs sensors may be used in CORSIGHT. Β The PC offers LAN/WLAN, DP++ as well as USB 2.0 interface. Different boot and storage media exist.
Sensor data is acquired and possibly preprocessed using an FPGA based subsystem. The pre-processing options include, input look-up-table, format conversion, and buffering, before the data is transferred to the main PC using the high performance PCI-Express DMA transfer. General purpose I/O's (optocoupler & TTL inputs and outputs, RS232 interface) enable the control of external devices.
