Fpga-based Pxi Modules Improve Test-system-i/o Performance

摘要

NI (National Instruments) has introduced a new generation of open, FPGA (field-program-mable-gate-array)-based PXI (peripheral-component-inter-connect-extensions-for-instrumentation) modules. The company calls the FlexRIO (real-time-input/output) family the industry's first commercial, off-the-shelf product line to combine high-speed, instrument-class I/O with flexible LabView FPGA technology. The new products enable engineers to add custom signal-processing algorithms to PXI-based FPGA hardware. Interchangeable adapter modules directly interface FPGAs to instrument-class I/O or allow the creation of custom front-end hardware to meet application requirements. With these capabilities, you can use techniques such as inline processing, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and protocol-aware test as you design and test complex electronic devices.
