Malibu Libraries
Ultimate Performance Signal Processing &
Data Acquisition Libraries
Rapid Application Development
Malibu is a powerful, feature-rich so ware library designed to meet the challenge of developing so ware capable of high-speed data ow and real-time signal
analysis on the PC. Malibu adds high-performance data acquisition and data processing capabilities to Microso Visual C++ .NET or Borland (CodeGear) De-
velopers Studio applications with a complete set of functions that solve data movement, analysis, viewing, logging and fully take advantage of the object-oriented
nature of C++. e full data sheet may be downloaded from www.innovative-dsp.com/products/malibu.htm
Malibu supports command and control plus data transfer using Innovative's new DSP and data acquisition platforms. It incorporates board support packages
comprised of a low-level board device driver (Windows or Linux) and portable libraries which allow full hardware con guration and control from within a C++
application or DLL. e ability to call Malibu functions within a static or dynamic library makes it easy to create custom board interfaces to allow utilization of
Innovative Integration DSP or data acquisition products from within third-party graphical environments such as LabView or MatLab.
Malibu automatically manages and dispatches all hardware real-time events and works with the hardware to smoothly ow data and messages between the
target and the host application. e library is optimized for low-latency, high-speed data ow and computation at every stage throughout the application.
Hardware data ow uses an advanced data bu ering system that allows the PC to achieve high rates while sustaining the overall demands of real-time applica-
tions. Where appropriate, multiple stages of data bu ering are used to mitigate the rate of interrupt requests. Data ows through driver allocated contiguous
physical memory to support sustained real-time demands for data movement, while minimizing data latency normally incurred with large data bu ers. is
approach is superior to the typical scatter/gather system because it eliminates the overhead associated with managing non-contiguous data bu er pools.
