The National Instruments PCIe-6537 is a high-speed digital I/O board capable of continuously streaming data up to 200 MB/s over the PCI Express bus.

The NI PCIe-6537 features clock rates up to 50 MHz from internal or external sources, selectable voltage levels of 2.5 and 3.3 V (5 V compatible), and per-channel directional control of 32 digital lines. The NI PCIe-6537, based on NI-DAQmx driver software, is compatible with the NI Digital Waveform Editor, so you can interactively create, edit, and import digital waveforms.

The low-cost, high-throughput architecture of the NI PCIe-6537 makes it an ideal solution for interfacing and testing image sensors, display panels, and memory devices. The board is also well suited for other common digital applications such as pattern I/O, handshaking, and change detection.
