Synchronization data acquistition system with multiple processors is the trend of the modern manufacturing equipment development. Complex high-precision equipment even has hundreds of sensors and they are acquiring data at the same time, the sensors are distributed in dozens of data acquisition cards. The key technology is the acquisition system enable to synchro-gather data from data acquisition cards which base on data bus between them and then sent the gather data to arithmetic system. In order to synchronic data integration, it is required a high-speed and low-latency data channels and a suitable data protocol between data acquisition cards and main control card. This paper introduce a new type of synchronous data acquisition system, through the self-defined data bus and a specific memory allocation mechanism, the data acquisition system can sent the integrate data to arithmetic system through main control card after it get the data from acquisition cards, the transfer delay of data exchange is nanoseconds.

Abstract A multi-function digital baseband data acquisition system is designed for the sampling, distribution and recording of wide-band multi-channel astronomical signals. The system hires a SNAP2 board as a digital baseband converter to digitize, channelize and packetize the received signal. It can be configured dynamically from a single channel to eight channels with a maximum bandwidth of 4096 MHz. Eight parallel HASHPIPE instances run on four servers, each carrying two NVMe SSD cards, achieving a total continuous write rate of 8 GB s−1. Data are recorded in the standard VDIF file format. The system is deployed on a 25-meter radio telescope to verify its functionality based on pulsar observations. Our results indicate that during the 30-minute observation period, the system achieved zero data loss at a data recording rate of 1 GB s−1 on a single server. The system will serve as a verification platform for testing the functions of the QTT (QiTai radio Telescope) digital backend system. In addition, it can be used as a baseband/VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) recorder or D-F-engine of correlator/beamformer as well.
