hello innovate,

I want to buy any one of this cards(x5-rx or x5-210m) for my application will you please tell based on your experience which is the best.
I am having no softwares with me as per now i want to start with this card for that what are the softwares required(right from the os)

That is i am planning to purchase an industrial pc and any one of this cards.
I just wanted to know what will be the difference between one of the cards connected to SBC or to an industrial pc any computational differences?

My application is to acquire a 30MHz pulsed signal of duration 1 microsec and calculate the pulse to pulse phase between them.

I would recommend use of the X5-GSPS for this application. The GSPS features a much higher sampling rate than the 210M or RX modules. Consequently, the phase measurements can be made with greater resolution.

Each of our XMC modules can be controlled from within a C++ application under QtCreator, MSVC or Embarcadero CBuilder. QtCreator applications can be built and run under Windows or Linux, whereas MSVC and Embarcadero are Windows only.

I recommend QtCreator under Windows, since this is a high-quality, affordable combination.

for our application a resolution of 16-bit is required so i think x5-gsps will not provide such resolution.

we want to calculate phase at a resolution of 117.35 * 10-6rad.
so which one is best x5-rx or x5-210M

If you require 16-bit resolution, then the X5-RX is the best choice in our product line, since it supports sampling at 200 MSPS. Resolution will be 5 nS +/- the clock jitter.
