National Instruments PCIe-7842 Reconfigurable I/O Device with 200 kS/s Sampling Rate, 96 Digital I/O Lines and Virtex-5 FPGA

The National Instruments PCIe-7842 (Part Number: 781101-01) is a high-performance multifunction reconfigurable I/O device featuring a client-programmable FPGA for superior onboard processing and direct I/O signal control. This device offers complete flexibility in system timing and synchronization for demanding industrial applications.

• User-programmable Virtex-5 LX50 FPGA for custom timing and control applications
• Dedicated A/D converter per channel for independent timing and triggering
• Multi-rate sampling and individual channel triggering capabilities
• 8 analog inputs with 16-bit resolution and 200 kS/s sampling rate
• 8 analog outputs with 16-bit resolution and 1 MS/s sampling rate
• 96 digital I/O lines with 3 DMA channels
• 3x 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O connectors
• Compatible with LabVIEW FPGA Module for custom application development

The PCIe-7842's reconfigurable FPGA core enables custom measurement and control system behavior. Users can implement application-specific I/O functionality through FPGA VIs, making it ideal for:

• Equipment testing and validation
• Custom protocol communication
• Sensor simulation and emulation
• High-speed control systems
• Real-time data acquisition and processing

The device integrates with LabVIEW FPGA Module for graphical programming of timing and functionality. Without the FPGA Module, users can still develop VIs for Windows or LabVIEW Real-Time targets to control existing FPGA VIs. The LabVIEW Real-Time Module enables additional tasks like floating-point processing while maintaining I/O operations.
