The data sampling and signal capture of multiple signals for the reconstruction of original continuous functions is an important function in many instrumentation systems, for example: multi-point sensing for optical interferometry, biomedical monitoring system, and in the measurement of displacements. A multi-channel signal capturing system is developed for optical interferometry for the measurement of displacement and motion. For such a system, it is important that the signals are captured synchronously with a minimum time delay from channel to channel so as to minimize relative phase shift between channels, and, thus, the errors resultant in the displacement measurement, due to signal processing. In order to compare the achievable synchronization by different hardware architectures, a controller built with an ARM core and the other with a FPGA were developed. The FPGA is programmed by GRAFCET with parallelism, while a microcontroller like ARM executes instructions sequentially. Hence, the existence of processing delay between channels competing for processing resource is likely.
Actual tests on the FPGA implementation show that there is no channel synchronization time difference due to system clock. There is only deviations about 11.5ns due to propagation delay in the electric circuits. While there is at least one sampling time step difference between channels in the ARM implementation when the sampling rate is above 400kHz. |
