Keysight + Conduant Partnership
Turn Keysight RF Capture into Hours of Lossless Recording & Replay
Conduant’s StreamStor® Cobra systems, co-engineered with Keysight via the Optical Data Interface (ODI), extend Keysight digitizers, analyzers, DSPs, and generators to capture and replay up to 160 Gbps of data without dropped samples.
Capture minutes to hours of gap-free data at full sample rate instead of seconds or fractions of seconds using internal memory.
Eliminate PCIe bottlenecks with up to 160 Gbps optical streaming directly from Keysight instruments.
Replay identical scenarios for faster debug, regression testing, and system validation.
WHY KEYSIGHT + CONDUANT?
Together, Keysight and Conduant give engineering teams the ability to capture, store, and replay more high-speed data than instrument memory alone will allow.
Record minutes to hours of continuous data at full sample rate, instead of only seconds from on-board memory.
Use the Optical Data Interface (ODI) to stream data directly from Keysight instruments into Conduant recorders with no PCIe bottlenecks or dropped samples.
Our joint solutions are validated with Keysight and deployed in demanding aerospace, defense, and wireless test programs worldwide.

Engineering Deep Dive: ODI-Based High-Speed Recording Architecture
Conduant Corporation and Keysight Technologies have formed a strategic partnership to bring the most advanced high-speed digital recording and playback solutions to market. If you are seeking precision high-speed ADC or DAC solutions, our partnership and expertise help ensure that your most demanding projects succeed.
By leveraging ODI (Optical Data Interface)—a non-proprietary optical data transfer protocol—Keysight ADC and DAC products can be combined with the Conduant StreamStor® Cobra recording solution for long-duration recording or playback of digitized sensor data. ODI is easily implemented in FPGA hardware, including AMD and Intel devices, and enables real-time streaming of the most demanding RF and high-speed digital signals for analysis and measurement.
ODI is a high-speed interface standard designed for advanced instrumentation and embedded systems, facilitating optical communication between devices over pluggable optical cables. With speeds up to 160 Gbps per fiber, ODI addresses challenging applications in 5G communications, aerospace and defense, and high-speed data acquisition. It works seamlessly across various product formats—including AXIe, PXI, LXI, VPX, and traditional bench instruments—enabling efficient communication between instruments, processors, and storage devices.
