Hardware

The acquisition section of the GEN5i is based on the successful and proven
stand-alone GEN series Data Acquisition System, available in a Tower model
and a Rack model.
In the GEN5i the same concepts are used.

6.3.1

Backplane

The CPCI (Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect) backplane can
transfer data at high speed to assure the highest system throughput.
6.3.2

Interface/Controller module

The Interface/Controller module runs a high-end CPU with an embedded real-
time operating system. It can store to local hard disk or Solid State Disk (SSD),
or stream directly to the GEN5i internal PC. For more information see "Interface
Module/System Controller" on page 144.
6.3.3

Input cards

The GEN5i can accept up to five input cards. Each input card includes one or
more digitizers, powerful filtering and intelligent triggering, and acquisition
management. For the analog input section the GEN5i input modules use signal
conditioners that are daughter cards mounted integrally with the input module
in the same slot. For more information on the various modules see "Available
input cards" on page 239.
