16-Channel, 50 MS/s, 14-Bit Digitizer Adapter Module for NI FlexRIO
NI 5751
16 simultaneously sampled 50 MS/s channels
14-bit vertical resolution
2 Vpp, 50 Ω single-ended inputs with DC coupling
8 general-purpose digital input and output lines for system stimulus and control
Well-suited for applications ranging from research to large-scale deployment
Requires NI FlexRIO FPGA module
Overview
Experiments and measurements in areas such as experimental physics, nondestructive test, and medical imaging can span across tens or hundreds of channels, requiring not
only a system with high-channel density but also a way to retrieve and transfer the data and/or measurements of interest. The NI 5751 digitizer adapter module for NI FlexRIO
provides the unique combination of high-channel density, scalability with PXI and PXI Express, and a fully programmable FPGA, which you can add for tasks such as custom
triggering or inline signal processing. Eight digital inputs and outputs offer further benefits as system stimulus or control signals.

About NI FlexRIO
The NI FlexRIO family consists of PXI and PXI Express field-programmable gate array (FPGA) modules coupled to I/O adapter modules. Programmed with the NI LabVIEW
FPGA Module, these modules together provide high-performance I/O and user-defined hardware processing on the PXI platform.
Figure 2. NI FlexRIO Architecture
NI FlexRIO FPGA modules feature the latest in FPGA technology and high-performance bus interfaces.
Table 3. NI FlexRIO FPGA Module Options
PXI Express NI FlexRIO FPGA modules feature Xilinx Virtex-5 SXT FPGAs with up to 512 MB of onboard DRAM, which you can access at bandwidths up to 3.2 GB/s. In addition
to general-purpose reconfigurable logic, SXT FPGAs are optimized for high-speed digital signal processing (DSP), with up to 640 DSP slices for single-cycle multiplication and
filtering functions. PXI Express NI FlexRIO FPGA modules also feature the NI STC-3 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), providing an optimized, high-bandwidth PCI
Express x4 communications link to the backplane of the PXI Express chassis. This ASIC reduces the FPGA resources needed to implement host communication and enables new
data transfer technology in the unique peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming feature. With NI P2P data streaming technology, you can continuously transfer data to and from PXI Express

NI FlexRIO FPGA modules at rates greater than 800 MB/s for additional processing and I/O integration. You can also stream to and from select PXI Express NI modular
instruments for an even greater variety of I/O.
PXI NI FlexRIO FPGA modules feature Xilinx Virtex-5 LX FPGAs with up to 128 MB of onboard DRAM, which you can access at bandwidths up to 1.6 GB/s. They feature all the
benefits of the PXI platform including synchronization, triggering, and high-speed data transfer to and from their host.
Table 4. PXI and PXI Express FPGA Module Comparison
National Instruments and third parties offer NI FlexRIO adapter modules, and you can build your own adapter modules using the NI FlexRIO Adapter Module Development Kit
(MDK). With custom adapter modules, you can implement the exact analog and digital I/O your application requires, along with graphical FPGA programming provided by
LabVIEW. View a current list of NI and third-party adapter modules at
ni.com/flexrio
. This ability to easily create high-bandwidth P2P data streams helps provide scalable signal
processing and I/O integration.
LabVIEW FPGA
With the high-level graphical programming capabilities of LabVIEW FPGA, programming for the NI 5751 is far simpler than low-level HDL programming. Acquiring samples from
one NI FlexRIO digitizer adapter module's analog-to-digital converter at its configured rate and placing the data into an FPGA FIFO is depicted in Figure 3.
Figure 3. LabVIEW FPGA Code for Acquiring Data from an NI FlexRIO Digitizer Adapter Module
From this point, you may implement your own processing, filtering, fast Fourier transform (FFT), or control. Figure 4 shows custom demodulation using IP from the FPGA RF
Communications Library on
ni.com/labs
.

For implementing a real-time spectrum analyzer, Figure 5 shows code that performs windowing, conversion to the frequency domain, comparison against a frequency mask, and
assertion of a trigger when that mask is exceeded.

Finally, Figure 6 shows a custom, 128-tap inline finite impulse response (FIR) filter with reloadable coefficients. After filtering, the data is generated through a digital-to-analog
converter.

Support and Services
System Assurance Programs
NI system assurance programs are designed to make it even easier for you to own an NI system. These programs include configuration and deployment services for your NI PXI,
CompactRIO, or Compact FieldPoint system. The NI Basic System Assurance Program provides a simple integration test and ensures that your system is delivered completely
assembled in one box. When you configure your system with the NI Standard System Assurance Program, you can select from available NI system driver sets and application
development environments to create customized, reorderable software configurations. Your system arrives fully assembled and tested in one box with your software preinstalled.
When you order your system with the standard program, you also receive system-specific documentation including a bill of materials, an integration test report, a recommended
maintenance plan, and frequently asked question documents. Finally, the standard program reduces the total cost of owning an NI system by providing three years of warranty
coverage and calibration service. Use the online product advisors at ni.com/advisor to find a system assurance program to meet your needs.
