The\u00a0National Instruments R Series<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0consists of\u00a0Multifunction Reconfigurable I\/O (RIO) Devices<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Digital RIO Devices<\/strong>\u00a0which have the capability to control I\/O signals and deliver an FPGA that can be programmed by the user for onboard signal processing and versatile system synchronization and timing. With the NI RIO technology, users can define customized measurement hardware circuitry by utilizing reconfigurable FPGA chips and National Instruments LabVIEW tools. The\u00a0R Series National Instruments Multifunction RIO Devices<\/strong>\u00a0are available in form factors such as PXI\/CompactPCI, PCI, PCI Express, and USB. All of these devices can be used with the\u00a0NI-RIO driver<\/strong>\u00a0software, but they are not compatible with NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These devices have from 6 to 16 analog input channels, 8 to 18 analog output channels, and 32 to 96 bidirectional digital channels. The\u00a0NI Multifunction RIO Devices\u00a0<\/strong>have varying types of FPGAs and a maximum clock rate of 40 MHz or 80 MHz. The PXIe devices in the\u00a0NI R Series<\/strong>\u00a0support peer to peer streaming. Some of the PXIe devices also have 512 MB of DRAM.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NI R Series Devices stand out from other types of data acquisition devices due to the dedicated analog-to-digital converter for each channel on the device, which is for individual triggering and timing. This also allows for multirate sampling. These features are beyond those of regular data acquisition devices.<\/p>\n

Since there are several types of FPGAs to choose from, it can be difficult to determine which\u00a0National Instruments R Series Multifunction RIO Device<\/strong>\u00a0is the appropriate choice for your application. However, as a rule, applications that complete simple timing, synchronization, and triggering on the FPGA can be accomplished with a tinier FPGA. On the other hand, if the application involves timing, synchronization, triggering, and further signal processing capabilities, a bigger FPGA is required.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0R Series of National Instruments<\/strong>\u00a0USB devices can be utilized for several types of applications, including customized digital interfacing, high-speed closed-loop control, sensor simulation, quick prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop test, and more. The USB devices feature Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGAs. These FPGAs have the power of previous high-end FPGAs at nearly half the power. The\u00a0USB R Series Devices<\/strong>, therefore, are equipped with two times the digital signal processing.<\/p>\n

There are several\u00a0obsolete<\/strong>\u00a0R Series<\/strong>\u00a0models, such as the\u00a0PXI-7811R<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0PXI-7813R<\/a><\/strong>. There are also several\u00a0mature R Series<\/strong>\u00a0devices, such as the\u00a0PXI-7841<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0PXI-7842<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0PXI-7851<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0PXI-7852<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0PXI-7853<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0PXI-7854<\/a><\/strong>, and more. However, they will still be available for both purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.<\/p>\n
