National Instruments PXI-7953 PXI FPGA Module for FlexRIO

The PXI-7953 (Part Number: 780562-01) FPGA Module for FlexRIO has 128 MB DRAM, an FPGA Virtex 5 LX85, and comes with the most complex HDL that can utilize numerous clock spaces and run asynchronously. Through an XML container, the user can import the HDL to LabVIEW and access it through I/O nodes. It also utilizes the CLIP node to interface with the NI FlexRIO connector module and the FPGA installed DRAM module. The clip node runs asynchronously to the LabVIEW block diagram, can support numerous clocks, and is important to customize certain hardware highlights, such as the connector module interface. This is unique in relation to the IP integration node, which keeps running in accordance with the LabVIEW block diagram and can be precisely simulated with the LabVIEW host. 

The NI PXI-7953 is a reconfigurable device. This implies the equipment assets (I/O registers, information streams, DMAs) and the logic executed relies upon the FPGA project developer implementation. Each time there is another FPGA arrangement for a different purpose, hardware resources have different map addressing. IRIO library acquires from the FPGA header file all the resource mapping, making an information structure to oversee them progressively, and loads the FPGA bitfile into the RIO gadget, designing the FPGA in run time.

The PXI-7953 FPGA Module for FlexRIO consists of an FPGA and a set of adapter modules that give superior analog and digital I/O. The adapter modules are exchangeable and characterize the I/O nodes in the LabVIEW FPGA programming environment.

PXI-7953 Mature Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the module will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
