NI PXIe-7902 Ethernet Test Solution
The Ethernet Test Instruments integrates up to twelve independent Ethernet interfaces into the LabVIEW environment using the PXIe-7902 card. The FPGA core is designed for test and verification applications and is available with LabVIEW support or Windows C API and can be integrated into LabVIEW TestStand. The Test Instrument can be operated in two modes: In interface mode, the user can control the Ethernet interfaces in real time via software. Test mode is conducted via scripted operations where the user specifies all facets of the transaction including header info, payload, packet type, and cadence/timing of operations before handing off execution to the hardware. During both modes, all incoming and outgoing packets are time stamped, recorded, and logged for user review.
