Description
The PXIe-6594 is a high-speed serial instrument designed for use in PXI Express chassis. With a part number of 145959B-01L, this device falls under the category of PXI HSSerial. It is commonly referred to by its short description, Bigfoot, Dual QSFP28 FAM. The PXIe-6594 boasts an impressive 8-channel configuration, allowing for a maximum transfer rate of up to 28 Gbps. This performance is powered by a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale+ FPGA, ensuring high-speed data processing and transfer capabilities.
Designed to occupy just 1 PXIe Slot in a compatible chassis, this module is an efficient choice for system integrators looking to maximize their available space. It offers a variety of additional features, including a CLK OUT connector, a CLK IN connector, and support for PXI triggering and clocking. These features are complemented by its high-speed data transfer capabilities, peer-to-peer streaming, streaming from and to disk, and compatibility with LabVIEW FPGA, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications.
The PXIe-6594 is equipped with 8 Transmit (Tx) lines and 8 Receive (Rx) lines, facilitating robust and reliable communication channels for demanding applications. Despite its advanced features, it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments. However, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users of this sophisticated instrument.
