National Instruments has announced a family of PXI remote control and bus extension modules with PCI Express Gen 3 connectivity.
“PCI Express Gen 3 technology delivers increased bandwidth that is critical for data intensive applications like 5G cellular research, RF record and playback, and high-channel-count data acquisition,” said the firm. “This family augments our existing portfolio of PCI Express Gen 3 chassis and embedded controllers and more than doubles the throughput for multichassis systems.”
PCIe-8398 host interface card communicates over a transparent PCI Express Gen 3 x16 link to either the single-port PXIe-8398 or dual-port PXIe-8399 remote control module to offer up to 13.7Gbyte/s of sustained data throughput. “Engineers can use the second port on the PXIe-8399 to daisy chain additional chassis, making it possible to directly interface multiple PXI Express chassis to a single host computer, whether it is a desktop or rack-mount PC,” said NI.
PXIe-8394 bus extension module supports peer-to-peer streaming up to 6.8Gbyte/s between chassis-separated instruments with PCI Express Gen 3. It also allows communication with peripheral devices like RAID data storage arrays or the the firm’s ATCA-3671 FPGA module.
“This family of PXI remote control and bus extension modules complements the PXIe-8880 embedded controller and PXIe-1085 24Gbyte/s chassis, both of which also feature PCI Express Gen 3,” said NI.
