Combining VXI and PXIe Systems: A Seamless Integration Approach
Enhancing Test and Measurement Capabilities Through PCI Express Connectivity
This white paper explores practical solutions for integrating VXIbus and PXIe-based systems, enabling seamless communication and control through a unified architecture. By leveraging Bustec’s ProDAQ 3030 PCI Express Slot-0 Interface and ProDAQ 3261 PCI Express Host Interface Card, engineers can establish high-speed connections through VXIbus mainframes and PXIe crates. Various configurations are discussed, detailing hot-pluggable capabilities, power cycling options, and interoperability with third-party hardware. Additionally, the paper highlights the role of VISA I/O libraries in ensuring efficient software integration. Whether using multiple PCI Express host slots, a single-slot solution, or an embedded PXI controller, this guide provides a roadmap for optimizing mixed test environments.
Comparison of ProDAQ 6131 to NI PXIe-4357
A Technical Comparison of RTD Measurement Performance, Isolation and Synchronization
This technical paper compares the Bustec ProDAQ 6131 with the NI PXIe-4357 for precision RTD and resistive measurements. It examines key differences in channel architecture, sampling performance, accuracy, isolation, synchronization and system integration.
With 32 independent, simultaneously sampled channels, a dedicated 24-bit ADC per channel, up to 300 V channel-to-channel isolation and sampling rates up to 2,000 S/s, the ProDAQ 6131 is designed for demanding measurement applications where accuracy, signal integrity and distributed synchronization are critical.
