Description
Provides read/write access to all low-voltage
differential signal (LVDS) and single-ended
channels, where the channels are grouped by
connector. You can access the LVDS data and
direction lines using a U16 data type in which
each bit position corresponds to an individual
channel. You can access the LVDS PFI lines
and the single-ended PFI lines using a
Boolean control.
Provides read/write access to all LVDS and
single-ended channels using a channel-based
interface. You can access the LVDS data and
PFI channels using a U16 data type in which
the top six bits are unused. Each LVDS line,
PFI line, and clock output is connected to an
OSERDES or ISERDES block that serializes
or deserializes, respectively, the signal by a
factor of 10 by default. During acquisition, the
NI 6587 reads or writes ten bits of data per
channel to or from the ISERDES or
OSERDES blocks. All OSERDES and
ISERDES blocks are set to double data rate
(DDR) mode.
