NI FlexRIO

The NI FlexRIO product family provides flexible, customizable I/O for NI LabVIEW FPGA. Solutions consist of NI FlexRIO FPGA Modules for PXI and PXI Express, and NI FlexRIO Adapter Modules, which add I/O to the FPGA. Together, they form a high-performance, reconfigurable instrument powered by LabVIEW FPGA. Adapter modules are available from NI and National Instruments Alliance Partners, or you can use the NI FlexRIO Module Development Kit (MDK) to build your own.

NI FlexRIO Adapter Module Development Kit

You can build the exact adapter module your application needs with the NI FlexRIO MDK. This requires experience in custom printed circuit board (PCB) design and hardware description language (HDL) code development. The NI FlexRIO Adapter MDK includes electrical and mechanical specifications, example code, and design documentation.

NI FlexRIO FPGA Modules for PXI Express

NI FlexRIO FPGA Modules for PXI Express have DSP-focused Virtex-5 SXT FPGAs and up to 512 MB of onboard DRAM. They also support high-performance peer-to-peer data streaming at more than 800 MB/s for moving data between FPGAs. The front connector is backward-compatible with that of NI FlexRIO FPGA Modules for PXI and adds signals for enhanced adapter module synchronization.
