Description
The NI PXIe-6591R High-speed Serial Instrument, with a part number 783638-01, falls under the PXI HSSerial category. This model, named PXIe-6591, is designed to meet the needs of high-speed serial applications with its impressive capabilities.
At the heart of the PXIe-6591 is the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA, known for its high performance and flexibility. The device is programmed using the LabVIEW Module FPGA, offering a user-friendly interface for complex programming tasks.
With its FPGA multigigabit transceivers, the PXIe-6591 can handle speeds up to 12.5 Gbps. It supports up to eight TX and RX lines, enabling it to manage multiple data streams simultaneously. The device also supports several logic families for digital I/O signals, providing versatility and control over directional signals on a per-line and per-cycle basis.
Signal routing is directly managed from the Kintex-7 FPGA pins to PORT 0 and PORT 1 connector pins with a 100 nF AC-coupling capacitor, ensuring clean and reliable connections. Additionally, the Socketed CLIP feature enables the insertion of HDL IP directly into the FPGA target, facilitating direct communication between VHDL code and FPGA VI.
The front panel of the PXIe-6591 features a red LED activity indicator. This indicator provides visual feedback on high signal levels, error conditions, temperature faults, and power issues, making it easier for technicians to monitor the device’s status.
Moreover, the PXIe-6591 includes advanced signal conditioning capabilities. It features a pulse stretcher for a minimum statement time of 100 ms and supports both synchronous and asynchronous signal drive capabilities, enhancing its versatility for different application needs.
