NI PXIe-7902 Serial RapidIO® Test Solution

The Serial RapidIO® Test Instruments integrates up to six independent Serial RapidIO® (sRIO®) interfaces into the LabVIEW environment using the PXIe-7902 card. The FPGA core is designed and optimized for test/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 sRIO® 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.

Benefits

  • Directly control and interface with SRIO® devices in LabVIEW
  • Configurable as host or device
  • User-configurable number of lanes and lane speed at run time
  • DMA access to read/write port memory
  • Records and logs all transactions with hardware time-stamping
  • Complete FPGA design with FPGA-based offload of protocol; No FPGA design needed by user
  • Reduce development time by focusing on software test applications instead of test hardware development
