Description
The GX5732 is a 6U PXI static digital I/O card with 224 I/O channels. Designed for ATE, data acquisition, or process control systems where a large number of discrete I/O channels are required, the GX5732 offers the highest density in the industry for a single PXI plug-in board.
Features
The GX5732 provides 224 TTL channels that are programmable for either inputs or outputs in groups of eight. The GX5732 has no on-board memory and uses the computer’s memory and CPU power for data transfer.
The GX5732 has four 8-bit, bi-directional, 50-MHz counters. Eight I/O pins on the counter port can be used as input or output to any of the counters. An additional 4 outputs can be used as output of any of the counters, or as a Terminal Count (TC) for all counters. Six programmable inputs are provided for counter control: clock, gate, or load. The counters may be daisy chained to create two 16-bit counters, or one 32-bit counter. The clock source can be PCI clock, PXI clock, external clock, or another counter.
Programming and Software
The board is supplied a 32//64-bit DLL driver. Various interface files provide access to the DLL from programming tools and languages such as ATEasy, LabVIEW, LabView/Real-Time, Microsoft® and Borland® C/C++, Microsoft Visual Basic®, and more. The available virtual panel can be used to interactively adjust and control the instrument from a window that displays the current instrument settings and measurements.
On-Line help file and PDF User's Guide provides documentation that includes instructions for installing, using and programming the board.
A separate software package – GtLinux – provides support for Linux 32/64 operating systems.
