Accumulation of waveform data using alternating memory banks

摘要

System and method for hardware implemented accumulation of waveform data. A digitizer is provided that includes: a circuit, and first and second memory banks, coupled to the circuit. The circuit may be configured to: store a first subset of the waveforms in the first memory bank, accumulate each waveform in a chunk-wise manner, where each chunk has a specified size, thereby generating a first bank sum including a first partial accumulation of the set of waveforms, store a second subset of waveforms in the second memory bank concurrently with the accumulation, and accumulate each waveform of the second subset of waveforms in a chunk-wise manner, thereby generating a second bank sum including a second partial accumulation of the set of waveforms, where the first and second partial accumulations of the set of waveforms are useable to generate an accumulated record of the set of waveforms.

1. A system for accumulating waveform data, the system comprising:
a digitizer, comprising:
a circuit;a first memory bank, coupled to the circuit; anda second memory bank, coupled to the circuit; wherein the circuit is configured to:
a) store a first subset of the waveforms in the first memory bank;b) accumulate each waveform of the first subset of waveforms in a chunk-wise manner, wherein each chunk has a specified size, thereby generating a first bank sum comprising a first partial accumulation of the set of waveforms;c) store a second subset of waveforms in the second memory bank concurrently with b);d) accumulate each waveform of the second subset of waveforms in a chunk-wise manner, thereby generating a second bank sum comprising a second partial accumulation of the set of waveforms; and wherein the first and second partial accumulations of the set of waveforms are useable to generate an accumulated record of the set of waveforms.
