SonixDAQ

Introduction
The Sonix RP is a diagnostic ultrasound system packaged with an Ultrasound Research Interface (URI). The URI is an interface that allows for:
 * The use of operational modes not available on a purely clinical system
 * The retrieval and modification of low-level parameters used to generate ultrasound images
 * The acquisition and storage of raw data in a variety of formats

In addition to the URI component, the Sonix RP also has the ability to run special research tools for performing tasks such as:
 * Transducer prototyping
 * Connecting to the system through a network for parameter setting and data capture
 * Low-level ultrasound beam sequencing and control
 * Development of commercial ultrasound applications running on the Sonix platform

Here are some quick specifications that the researcher should be aware of before using the device for research:
 * 128 element transducers (64 on phased-arrays)
 * 256 transmit channels (128 for both positive and negative)
 * 32 receive channels
 * 40 MHz internal clock
 * 10-bit ADC
