Abstract :
An easily configurable, computer network connected measurement system has been constructed, which has been used to test a new kind of experimental dual-mode data compressing A/D (Analog-to-Digital) converter chip. The measurement system consists of a DSP-ASIC (Digital Signal Processor-Application Specific integrated Circuit) hardware emulator, called BOAR (Board for Object Animation and Reviewing) and several special operational modules, such as anti-alias lowpass filter, which can be connected together to construct various environments, needed for a chip under measurement
