Building a High Performance Data Acquisition System in a PXIe Chassis using XMC Modules

June 2016

When designing a high performance data acquisition system, a signi!cant decision is what chassis form factor to use. A rackmount 19 inch chassis comes to mind as a good generic solution, and the PXIe version seems like a good candidate as it is standardized, reasonably priced, and available from multiple vendors. “e only signi!cant concern is that native PXI/PXIe modules are generally aimed at the testing market, which means they tend to have lower throughput, with less processing power than needed in high performance data acquisition systems.
