The following table shows the represented digital code when input voltage is at negative full scale and positive full scale. Since the data format for the PXIe-69834 is 2’s complement, the most signifi-cant bit represents the sign of input voltage.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING 3.2.3 DMA Data Transfer The PXIe-69834, a PXIe Gen 1 X 4 device, is equipped with four 80MS/s high sampling rate ADCs, generating a 640 MByte/ second rate. To provide efficient data transfer, a PCI bus-mastering DMA is essential for continuous data streaming, as it helps to achieve full potential PCI Express bus bandwidth.
PXI Trigger Bus PXIe_DSTARB Figure 3-4: Trigger Architecture The PXIe-69834 requires a trigger to implement acquisition of data. Configuration of triggers requires identification of trigger sources. The PXIe-69834 supports internal software trigger, external digital trigger, analog trigger from AI CH0 to CH3, PXI Trigger Bus [0..7],...
Leading EDGE COMPUTING PXI Star and PXIe differential star (PXIe_DSTARB). The trigger decision sends a trigger signal to internal FPGA for acquisition operation, as well as one of the PXI Trigger Bus bit for multi-mod- ule synchronization operations. 3.3.1 Software Trigger The software trigger, generated by software command, is asserted immediately following execution of specified function calls to begin the operation.
3.3.3 Analog Trigger An analog trigger is generated when one of AI input signal CH0 to CH3 meets the trigger condition. The trigger conditions for analog triggers as shown in Figure 3-6. Rising Edge Trigger This trigger event occurs when the analog input signal changes from a voltage lower than the specified trigger level to one higher than the specified trigger level.
The interconnected bus provided by PXI Trigger Bus supports easy synchronization of multiple modules. When configured as input, the PXIe-69834 serves as a slave mod-ule and will wait to commence signal acquisition until receiving a trigger from the PXI Trigger Bus. When configured as output, the PXIe-69834 serves as a master module and can output trigger to one of the PXI Trigger Bus.
Post-trigger acquisition is applicable when data is to be collected after the trigger event, as shown. When the operation starts, PXIe-69834 waits for a trigger event. Once the trigger signal is received, acquisition begins. Data is generated from ADC and transferred to system memory continuously.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING 3.4.2 Delayed Trigger Mode Delayed-trigger acquisition is utilized to postpone data collection after the trigger event, as shown. When the PXIe-69834 receives a trigger event, time delay implemented before commencing acquisition. The delay is specified by a 16-bit...

Leading EDGE COMPUTING 3.4.5 Acquisition with Re-Triggering A digitizer acquires a trace of N samples/channel for a single acquisition. Re-Trigger mode can also be set to automatically acquire R traces, containing N*R samples/channel of data, without additional software intervention. The Re-Trigger setting can be used for Post-Trigger and Delayed- Trigger modes, with different limitations on the spacing between trigger events in each mode.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING 3.5.3 External Reference Clock The onboard phase-lock loop (PLL) circuit allows the PXIe-69834 to synch to an external 10MHz reference, in situation where multi-module synchronization in the timebase is needed. By software command, the CLK IN will route external 10MHz clock to the PLL synthesizer and generate a precise 80MHz clock for ADC.
3.6 Acquisition Timing Control The PXIe-69834 commences acquisition upon receipt of a trigger event originating with software command, external digital trigger, analog trigger, PXI_STAR, Trigger Bus, PXIe_DSTARB. Trigger mode allows collection of data when the trigger event occurs, depending trigger mode type.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING To achieve sampling rates other than 80MS/s, the scan interval counter (ScanIntrv) needs to be specified. For example, if the scan interval counter is set to 2, the equivalent sampling rate is 80MS/s/2=40MS/s. If 3, the equivalent sampling rate is 80MS/s/3= 26.66MS/s, and vice versa.
Digitizer modules such as the PXIe-69834 support trigger synchro-nization and timebase synchronization. Trigger synchronization implements a signal that initiates acquisi- tion, and timebase synchronization provides the fundamental clock for AD operation.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING With appropriate configuration of digitizer modules and effective instrument support, however, trigger or timebase synchronization, or both can be achieved, commensurate with application require- ments. As shown in the following, in a simple synchronization architec- ture, two digitizer modules receive trigger and timebase from a function generator.
Some digitizer modules provide advanced features that can output trigger or timebase to external devices, enabling multi-module synchronization as well. As shown in the following, digitizer #1 acts as a master device and transmits trigger/timebase to the two slave digitizers. TRG OUT CLK#1 CLK OUT...
Leading EDGE COMPUTING to maximize signal quality. Moreover, signal wiring must be pre- cisely deployed to minimize timing skew. PXIe-69834, based Express & specifications, enables trigger and clock signals to be fully leveraged and benefits from the routing architecture of the PXI Express chassis.
PXI Trigger Bus, PXI_STAR, and PXIe_DSTARB are from the PXIe chassis. When the PXIe-69834 acts as a master device, its trigger signal is output to one bit of the PXI Trigger Bus, as determined by software selec-tion.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING For timebase synchronization, the PXIe-69834 acts as a slave device, receiving 10MHz reference clock from the front panel CLK IN or PXI_CLK10 from the PXIe chassis. Onboard Oscillator ADC 0 ADC 1 ADC 2 ADC 3 Buffer...
The PXIe-69834 is factory calibrated before shipment, with associ-ated calibration constants written to the onboard EEPROM. At system boot, the PXIe-69834 driver loads these calibration con-stants, such that analog input path errors are minimized. JYTEK provides a software API for calibrating the PXIe-69834.
Auto-calibration can measure and minimize errors without external signal connections, reference voltages, or mea- surement devices. The PXIe-69834 has an on-board calibration reference to ensure the accuracy of auto-calibration. The reference voltage is mea-sured on the production line and recorded in the on-board EEPROM.
