1. A device for processing data samples, the device comprising:
an acquisition memory for storing a number of data samples;
a program memory for storing software code;
a processor for receiving the number of data samples stored in the acquisition memory and for processing of the received number of data samples by executing the software code stored in the program memory;
a signal processing chip for executing one or more specified predetermined operations to generate the number of data samples as an intermediate result, receiving a processing result of the number of data samples processed by the processor and performing further processing operations on the processing result of the processor,
wherein the processor and the signal processing chip are configured for multiple exchange of processing results between each other,
wherein once the processor detects that the further processing operations can be performed faster or more efficiently by the signal processing chip, the processing result of the processor is forwarded to the signal processing chip, and
wherein the aquisition memory is configured to receive the number of data samples from the signal processing chip.
