PXI chassis carries 58 W of power and cooling per slot
The PXIe-1095 chassis is the first PXI Chassis with 58 W of dedicated power and cooling per slot. This represents a 50% increase in power and cooling per slot compared to previously released NI PXI Express chassis. In addition to higher power, the new chassis also features a significant reduction in fan noise in its […]
High-res digitizers, co-processors come in PXI format
NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced today a new PXI FlexRIO architecture that integrates mezzanine I/O modules with Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGAs. The first wave of products based on this new architecture includes two high-resolution PXI FlexRIO Digitizers, three dedicated PXI FlexRIO […]
The challenges of HIL testing and ADAS
Engineers running hardware-in-the-loop simulations face difficulties associated with how to devise sensor signals that truly exercise advanced drive assistance systems. DAVID A. HALL, National Instruments Corp. More than 50 years ago, in 1959, the Cadillac Cyclone XP-74 concept car featured two modified aircraft radars designed to alert the driver about oncoming traffic. Today, an automotive […]
Remote control module lets laptops run PXI systems via USB-C Thunderbolt 3
NI (National Instruments) announced today the PXIe-8301 remote control module, the industry’s first solution for laptop control of PXI systems using Thunderbolt™ 3. The PXIe-8301 offers PCI Express Gen 3 connectivity through two Thunderbolt 3 ports to maximize performance and delivers up to 2.3 GB/s of sustained data throughput. Engineers can use the second port […]
First SDR for 28-GHz research targets 3GPP and Verizon 5G standards
A series of 28-GHz radio heads have been developed by National Instruments Corp. for the mmWave Transceiver System. This combination creates the first commercially available full transceiver of its kind that can transmit and/or receive signals of up to 2 GHz of bandwidth in real time, covering spectrum from 27.5 GHz to 29.5 GHz. The […]
