14 years ago --- Quote Start --- i dont want to customize this card i only want to recieve its data on a FPGA board which i will design my self i only want to aquire the data from this adc wat do u think is it doable using this card regards uzmeed --- Quote End --- There is very little that you can possibly do with this board, other than use it as defined by Gage. If you absolutely had to interface it to an FPGA board, you would first need to reverse engineer the control interface (drivers) developed by Gage. Your system would then consist of the Gage board and your FPGA board in PCI backplane. The FPGA board would then have to issue PCI commands to setup the Gage board (or you might be able to use the Gage drivers on the host CPU (system slot CPU) for this). The Gage board would then somehow have to interrupt the FPGA PCI board when buffers of data were ready. If the Gage board can be customized, then it could write to an interrupt register on the FPGA PCI board. I'm highly doubtful you have any of this information. This is not a good solution for your problem. Please describe your application, and I can suggest a solution. Cheers, Dave
