PXI Express Features

Benefits of PXI Express

The PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) industry standard, an open specification

governed by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA), has quickly gained adoption and grown in

prevalence in test, measurement, and control systems since its release in 1998. One of the key

elements driving the rapid adoption of PXI is its use of PCI in the communication backplane.

As the commercial PC industry has improved the available bus bandwidth by evolving PCI to

PCI Express, PXI is now able to meet even more application needs by integrating PCI Express

into the PXI standard. By taking advantage of PCI Express technology in the backplane, PXI

Express increases the available PXI bandwidth from up to 132 MB/s to up to 8 GB/s for a

more than 60x improvement in bandwidth.

PXI Express maximizes both hardware and software compatibility with PXI modules. PXI

Express hybrid slots deliver both PCI and PCI Express signaling to accept devices that use

PXI communication and triggering or the newer PXI Express standard. Software compatibility

is maintained because PCI Express uses the same OS and driver model as PCI, resulting in

complete software compatibility among PCI-based systems, for example PXI, and PCI

Express-based systems such as PXI Express.

PXI Express, like PXI, leverages from the CompactPCI specification to define a rugged,

modular form factor that offers superior mechanical integrity and easy installation and removal

of hardware components. PXI Express products offer higher and more carefully defined levels

of environmental performance required by the shock, vibration, temperature, and humidity

extremes of industrial environments. Mandatory environmental testing and active cooling is

added to the CompactPCI mechanical specification to ease system integration and ensure

multivendor interoperability.

The demanding timing and synchronization requirements of instrumentation systems are met

by the integrated features of PXI Express. Not only are the trigger bus, 10 MHz system

reference clock, and star trigger bus available in PXI retained by PXI Express, but new timing

and synchronization features that include a 100 MHz differential system reference clock for

the synchronization of multiple modules and three differential star trigger buses for the

distribution of precise clock and trigger signals have been added. Differential timing and

synchronization signals provide PXI Express systems with increased noise immunity and the

ability to transmit clock signals at higher frequencies.

PXIe-8238 Overview

Functional Overview

The PXIe-8238 is a peripheral module that provides up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)

connectivity on two SFP+ ports for a PXI Express system. It can attach to a PXI Express

system via a high-bandwidth, low-latency PXI Express backplane Gen2 x8 link.

With the 10Gb Ethernet, it allows offloading data from a PXI Express system to an external

storage solution or a server for further analysis. It also allows data exchange and aggregation

across two or more PXI Express systems.

Functional Description

The PXIe-8238 is a peripheral module in a 1-slot 3U PXI Express form factor. The following

figure is a functional block diagram of the PXIe-8238. Following the diagram is a description

National Instruments Software

National Instruments has developed several software tools you can use with the PXIe-8238.

National Instruments’ hardware and software work together to help you make the most of your

PXI Express system. The LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and LabWindows™/CVI™

application development environments combine with leading hardware drivers such as NI-

DAQmx to provide exceptional control of NI hardware. Instrument drivers are available at

ni.com/idnet to simplify communication with instruments over a variety of buses.

LabVIEW is a powerful and easy-to-use graphical programming environment you can use to

acquire data from thousands of different instruments including USB, IEEE 488.2, VXI, serial,

PLCs, and plug-in boards. LabVIEW helps you convert acquired data into meaningful results

using powerful data analysis routines. Add-on tools provide additional specialized

functionality. For more information, visit ni.com/labview and ni.com/toolkits.

If you prefer to use Microsoft’s Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual Studio .NET for the core

of your application, Measurement Studio adds tools for measurement and automation to each

language. For more information, visit ni.com/mstudio.

LabWindows/CVI is an interactive ANSI C programming environment designed for building

virtual instrument applications. LabWindows/CVI delivers a drag-and-drop editor for building

user interfaces, a complete ANSI C environment for building your test program logic, and a

collection of automated code generation tools, as well as utilities for building automated test

systems, monitoring applications, or laboratory experiments. For more information, visit

ni.com/lwcvi.

NI-DAQmx provides an extensive library of functions you can call from your application

development environment or interactive environment such as NI Signal Express. These

functions provide an intuitive API for National Instruments multifunction DAQ products.

Features available include analog input (A/D conversion), buffered data acquisition (high-

speed A/D conversion), analog output (D/A conversion), waveform generation, digital I/O,

counter/timer operations, SCXI signal conditioning, RTSI or PXI Express synchronization,

self-calibration, messaging, and acquiring data to extended memory. For more information,

visit ni.com/daq.

National Instruments modular instruments use specialized drivers suited to each product’s

specialization. Express VIs provide customized, interactive programming of instruments in a

single interface and soft front panels provide an interface for testing the functionality of each

instrument with no programming required. NI Switches, DMMs, High-Speed DIO, High-

Speed Digitizers, and Sources each have customized drivers for high-end modular

instrumentation systems. RF applications leverage two drivers, NI-RFSG and NI-RFSA and

Dynamic Signal Acquisition is available through NI-DAQmx. For more information, visit

ni.com/modularinstruments.
