- I am interested in developing a means to write out patterns using a PC. The data
- stream is sent to a modulator in a printing device. These patterns are
- essentially very large bit maps, taken either from storage or computed on the
- fly by a DSP board inside the PC.
- The available D/A converters for PCUs all seem to run slowly. (200 Khz
- max, typically). The modulator and the DSP chip can go at much higher
- speeds, hence it is the means of output that is presently limiting the
- overall speed.
-
- Does anybody know of a way to write out these patterns using
- commercially available off the shelf hardware?
-
- Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!!!
