Hi Andrew, Your English is extremely fine, don't apologize! 270 MS/s is really *a lot* of data. You'd need a very capable computer even when just handling that amount of data internally, but with USB-connected devices, you also get a lot of interrupt handling. That will put additional load on you

Hi Kevin, it gets even a bit more complicated: While the samples coming out of the ADS62P4 are pretty raw (though that thing can FIR filter things itself, but IIRC we don't do anything fancy there), the AD9361 does have a multistage DSP chain – so, the bitwidth coming out of the AD936x might not b
