Description
The NI PCI-1588, part number 192991B-01 (779497-01), falls within the category of Timing and Synchronization. This model is a specialized IEEE 1588 Synchronization Module equipped with a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO). It is designed to operate based on the IEEE 1588 2008 protocol, capable of functioning as either a Slave or Master Clock Module. An essential feature of this device is its onboard Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which enhances its performance and flexibility.
The PCI-1588 module can generate frequencies ranging from DC to 1 MHz and has a minimum pulse width of 36 ns. It requires a single PCI slot for installation. For synchronization purposes, it utilizes an Ethernet port, and its front panel includes an RJ-45 Ethernet Connector and three PFI Connectors (PFI0, PFI1, PFI2). The module is also equipped with Link and Speed LEDs as indicators.
One of the key features of the PCI-1588 is its timestamping capability, ensuring synchronization with sub-microsecond precision. It supports auto-negotiation Ethernet speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps. Compatibility with software is broad, including the NI-Sync driver; and programming environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Visual C/C++, making it a versatile choice for developers.
The physical dimensions of the module are 6.87 x 4.19 inches, and it operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C. For storage, it can withstand temperatures ranging from –20 to 70 °C, ensuring durability and reliability across various environments.
