The expected minimum transfer speed for the CyDAQ platform is 10 megasamples per second, or 10,000,000 samples per second. Each sample is 2 bytes in size, so that is 20mb per second of transfer.
Because the transfer speed required is so high, it's important to test the baseline platform (in our case, Python), to ensure that such speeds can be achieved. This has been done and verified with the following:
