I have a question about the fast data transfer using PC computer and 6533 (PCI-DIO-32HS) card. I understand that the DMA is the bottleneck in transfer. The DIO 6533 manual offers some figures (10Ms/s for some PC mother boards) about performance when using pattern generation mode. Are these figures reliable ?
Is it possible to obtain 10Ms/s performance ? The shortest timeslice in 6533 is 50ns, which is enough but how about the DMA ?
I'd appreciate overall data throughput figures in function of a certain PC configuration.
