Abstract:
1. A process of acquiring, transmitting and reconstructing data signals, said process comprising: monitoring a timing reference signal and a sample interval signal produced by a timing reference; receiving an input data signal on an input/output module; sampling the input data signal using one of an external sample clock and an internal sample clock; measuring an input rate, based on a number of samples received during a sample interval, a duration count, based on a number of cycles of the timing reference signal between a first sample and a last sample received during the sample interval, and a delay count, based on a number of cycles of the timing reference signal received between a start of the sample interval and a first sample clock cycle of the one of the external sample clock and the internal sample clock; creating data packets, based on sampled input data and the measured input rate, and the measured delay count for each sample interval; transmitting the data packets; receiving the data packets; and reconstructing the input data signal based on the data packets.
