PXIe-3975
1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXIe-3975 PXI Express™ embedded controller,
based on the Intel
®
Core™ i5 processor, is specifically designed
for PXI Express-based testing systems, providing a rugged and
stable operating environment for a wide variety of testing and
measurement applications.
Combining state-of-the-art Intel
®
Core™ i5-520E 2.4 GHz proces-
sors, and up to 8 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 memory, the PXIe-3975
utilizes two separate computing engines on a single processor,
enabling execution of two independent tasks simultaneously in a
multi-tasking environment. With a configurable PCIe switch, the
PXIe-3975 can support four links x4 or two links x8 PXI Express
link capability, with maximum system throughput of up to 2 GB/s.
PXI Express-based testing systems typically make up a PXI
Express platform and diversified standalone instruments for com-
plex testing tasks. The PXIe-3975 provides ample interface
choices, including GPIB, USB, and ExpressCard, for connecting
and controlling instruments. The PXIe-3975 series also provides
dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, one for LAN connection and the other
for controlling LXI instruments. With flexible instrument control
interfaces and mechanical and electronic reliability, the ADLINK
PXIe-3975 is more than equal to the challenges of the most
demanding PXIe-based testing systems.
NOTE: NOTE:
8GB memory addressing is OS-dependent, such that a 32-bit
operating system may be unable to address the full 8GB of
memory space. To fully utilize the 8GB memory, 64-bit operat-
ing systems are required.
