Apex Waves specializes in the supply of mature and obsolete data acquisition and control products, and the\u00a0National Instruments PXI system<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a great example of this. Using a modular approach, the PXI system allows you to build a customizable and reconfigurable system for your data acquisition and control needs.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a huge range of\u00a0DAQ modules<\/strong>\u00a0available in the PXI platform, it is perfect for building an avionics test system. In particular, military avionics have very specific requirements that are almost always constrained by proprietary standards. Using a modular, programmable PXI based system can help to reduce cost, time, and resources required when designing avionics test systems.<\/p>\n

Using\u00a0PXI modules<\/a>\u00a0with the\u00a0LabVIEW<\/a>\u00a0application software, complex automated test environments can be developed. For example,\u00a0Salex Galileo<\/strong>\u00a0was tasked with building an automated test station for the\u00a0Tornado aircraft<\/strong>\u00a0multi-function displays. The displays use a mix of standard RGB video inputs, plus non-standard video inputs that required a flexible system to allow programming of both timing and amplitude levels. Their solution was to build a test environment based around the\u00a0National Instruments PXI platform<\/a>\u00a0using modular waveform generators and I\/O units.<\/p>\n

Apex Waves can supply and provide maintenance on the obsolete\u00a0National Instruments PXI-1050\u00a0<\/a>chassis.<\/strong>\u00a0This particular chassis is great for a range of applications and has the advantage of both PXI and SCXI standard slots, allowing you to upgrade but also keep your\u00a0National Instruments SCXI modules<\/strong><\/a>. The\u00a0PXI-1050<\/strong>\u00a0provides 8 PXI slots and 4 SCXI slots, with the latter also providing integrated signal conditioning. The\u00a0PXI-1050<\/a>\u00a0is compatible with all PXI controllers, provides four DC voltages per rail, +3.3, +5, +12 and -12 and forced air cooling from two integrated fans.<\/p>\n

For flexible I\/O signal, the now obsolete\u00a0National Instruments PXI-7811R<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0module was chosen by Salex Galileo for the\u00a0Tornado test system<\/strong>. Along with fast waveform generation, the module includes a fully client programmable FPGA, using\u00a0LabVIEW FPGA<\/strong>\u00a0application software. The\u00a0PXI-7811R<\/a>\u00a0offers 160 digital lines that can be programmed individually as inputs, outputs, and counters up to 40 MHz, or custom logic can be programmed with up to 25 ns resolution. Using the LabVIEW FPGA module and\u00a0NI-RIO<\/strong>\u00a0driver software, the module can be programmed for a range of applications, including hardware-in-the-loop and sensor simulation. The driver software is compatible with Windows operating systems from Windows 7 XP onwards, giving great backward compatibility. The\u00a0PXI-7811R<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Series module requires LabView FPGA 7.1 or later and\u00a0NI-RIO 1.3<\/strong>\u00a0or later.<\/p>\n

Technology advances move fast and National Instruments is constantly updating their products. Apex Waves can supply\u00a0mature and obsolete\u00a0<\/strong>PXI equipment<\/a>\u00a0from National Instruments that can either keep your current system running or provide an upgrade route without the cost to replace legacy systems.<\/p>\n
