Abstract :
A research platform that integrates high accuracy FPGA waveform acquisition architectures and MATLAB graphical user interface is described. The platform provides self-calibrating measurements and frame jitter free operation. The FPGA architectures were tested on two different chips using the same user interface successfully. Examples of the platform utilization for monitoring of chemical and biological reactors are presented.
