Data Streaming (Record and Playback)

  • External RAID hard drive enclosures
  • Up to 600 MB/s sustained reading and writing to disk
  • Up to 12 hard drives with 3 TB total storage capacity
  • High-bandwidth cabled PCI Express interface
  • 1U and 2U rack-mount enclosures

Because it is based on the high-bandwidth PCI and PCI Express buses, the PXI platform enables instruments and data acquisition modules to continuously stream data to and from sources on the controller or controlling PC, such as memory or RAID hard drive arrays. National Instruments provides a number of data streaming systems based on external RAID hard drive enclosures for use with PXI systems.
