Our customer had developed a prototype module for testing laser heads on CD players and needed a commercial PCI board for controlling the lasers via software running on a PC under Windows. Since the laser module was rich in RF circuitry and sensitive to noisy environments it was placed on the board with careful attention to shielding. Data to and from the module was buffered using hardware FIFOs which were wired to the PCI bridge device. A custom device driver was developed to provide a clean interface between the board and application software running under Windows.
