01The problem
Processing measurements took long enough that engineers waited on results between test runs, and any speed-up had to keep every reading exact.
- 01
Slow processing
The processing step sat between each run and its results, so waiting time added up across a day of testing.
- 02
Handoffs between tools
Data moved between acquisition and analysis in steps that were hard to repeat the same way twice.
- 03
Accuracy is fixed
Faster could not mean rougher. Every change had to produce the same readings as before.
02What we built
A faster path from sensor to result.
Measurement software and a rebuilt acquisition pipeline, with processing moved onto a high-performance path.
Every channel's reading, updated as the run goes, so a bad sensor shows up during the test rather than after it.
One repeatable path from acquisition to stored results, rebuilt for speed.
Each run leaves a record of what happened and when, so it can be repeated exactly.
03How it works
Sensor to result.
Sensor
Instruments produce raw signals on several channels.
Acquisition
Signals are read and time-stamped.
Filtering
Noise is removed from each channel.
Processing
Measurements computed on the fast path.
Results
Written for the engineers to analyse.
04Result
25 to 50%
Lower processing latency, with the same measurement accuracy.
