1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXIe-3985 PXI Express™ embedded controller is
based on the fourth generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor specifically designed for PXI Express-based testing systems. A rugged
and stable operating environment is provided for a variety of testing and measurement applications.
Combining state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i7-4700EQ 2.4 GHz processors and up to 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L memory, the
PXIe-3985 utilizes four separate computing engines on a single
processor, enabling execution of four independent tasks simultaneously. With a configurable PCIe switch, the PXIe-3985 can support four links x4 or two links x16 x8 PXI Express link capability,
with maximum system throughput of up to 8 GB/s.
PXI Express-based testing systems typically make up a PXI
Express platform and diversified standalone instruments for complex testing tasks. The PXIe-3985 series provides ample interfaces, including two DisplayPort connectors, allowing connection
to two monitors, dual USB 3.0 connections for high speed peripheral devices, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, one for LAN connection
and the other for controlling LXI instruments, four USB 2.0 ports
for peripheral devices and USB instrument control, and a Micro-D
GPIB connector for GPIB instrument connection, for hybrid
PXI-based testing systems control.
