Quatech's single port RS-232 synchronous serial PCI board supports asynchronous data formats as well as byte-oriented synchronous protocols such as BiSync, and bit-oriented synchronous protocols such as HDLC and SDLC. The card's robust design provides 1024-byte transmit and receive FIFOs, and a SCC with advanced internal functions including on-chip baud rate generators and digital phase-lock loop (DPLL) for recovering data clocking from received data streams.

Included Software	SyncDrive Plus: Frame-level HDLC/SDLC driver for Windows 2000/XP/7 SyncDrive: Frame level bit-synchronous (HDLC/SDLC) and byte-synchronous (Monosync/Bisync) driver for Windows 9x/Me, OS/2 and DOS. SyncDrive (Plus) is a frame-level synchronous communication driver implemented by a DLL and a device driver. Applications interface to SyncDrive (Plus) through C callable routines and C data structures. The routines provide services for channel configuration, transmitting a buffer, receiving a buffer, setting and monitoring I/O status. Once a handle is opened to the device driver, the application simply reads and writes frames as it would files, without worrying about buffer management, interrupts, or register handling. SyncDrive (Plus) handles start and end flags, synchronization characters, and CRC information on transmit and receive. The C data structures used are for configuration, transmitting and receiving buffers.

Application: Secure Military Radio Communications Quatech Products Used: MPAC-100 One Port RS-232 Synchronous PCI Board Military communications require secure connections and robust error checking to make absolutely certain that data is transferred unintercepted and uncorrupted. This data can be anything from e-mail messages, to reconnaissance photos, to audio or visual transmissions which may in some circumstances be encrypted. Multiband tactical radios are often used to implement these secure, high-speed connections between field personnel and home base systems. Size is not an issue for these systems when installed at a home base on a desktop computer. However, size is of paramount concern in the field.
