1 Introduction
The JYTEK PXIe-63985 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-63985 utilizes four separate computing engines on
a single processor, enabling execution of four independent tasks simultaneously. With a
configurable PCIe switch, the PXIe-63985 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-63985 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.
Memory addressing over 4GB is OS-dependent, such that a 32-bit operating system
may be unable to address memory space over 4GB. To fully utilize memory, 64-bit
operating systems are required.
