Couple of reasons: this is a high energy pulsed-power environment, so aside from concerns on how to reliably power it (I’m designing PoE into this new version), we also need it to be reasonably small and really fast.
Are we saving money? Individual units are certainly cheaper than COTS solutions. Maybe no real savings, but it’s meeting our needs without any compromises.
Besides, this is one of my simpler projects off the top of my head that wouldn’t bust an NDA. 😆
Out of curiosity, why not go off-the-shelf? I think you can buy ready made systems for that job.
