The Black Diamond (BD) system is a high performance, intelligent Real-Time Data Acquisition System. It collects real-time data from a wide range of sources including analog sensors and network attached devices. Using logic in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) embedded within a System-on-Chip (SoC), BD captures and streams data to the Algo-KVS Cloud for real-time processing and to the Algo-Central Cloud for historical archiving and trend analysis.
The BD has three form factors that allow it to be used for industrial, mobile, and datacenter applications. Connectivity is not a problem, because it supports wired Gigabit Ethernet and wireless b/g/n WiFi and can be expanded to support 5G.
BD utilizes algorithms in logic to deterministically collect, filter, precision time-stamp, and archive data
