Overview

The ProDAQ 6100 LXI function card carrier provides access to up to four ProDAQ function cards through a standard Gigabit Ethernet interface. Its small form factor and connectivity combined with the flexibility of the ProDAQ function cards enables users to create multifunction instruments where applications need them. By simply connecting the ProDAQ 6100 to a network and using the standard software drivers or the embedded Web server, users can integrate it into an application.

The ProDAQ 6100 is a fully compliant LXI Class B device (Class A with the optional LXI trigger interface), providing a standardized Gigabit Ethernet interface, a synchronization API, and support for the IEEE 1588 protocol. The IEEE 1588 protocol allows execution of triggered functions on devices equivalent to those available over GPIB, a synchronization of the system, and data acquisition clocks over the Ethernet accurate within about 20 nanoseconds. The optional trigger interface allows users to connect LXI devices by a physical daisy chain or star configuration. It is based on an 8-channel multipoint low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) system that allows devices to be sources and/or receivers of trigger and clock signals. Using a wired-OR configuration allows multiple devices to respond to a trigger signal or share a common clock.

The ProDAQ 6100 can be equipped with a high-precision ProDAQ 3202 voltage reference plug-in module to allow the calibration of function cards on-the-fly. Two standard 2 mm connectors on the rear panel allow the testing of an installed voltage reference plug-in module or the input of an external reference signal.
