Introduction 1

PXIe-3985

1 Introduction

The ADLINK PXIe-3985 PXI Express™ embedded controller is

based on the fourth generation Intel

Core™ i7 processor specifi-

cally designed for PXI Express-based testing systems. A rugged

and stable operating environment is provided for a variety of test-

ing and measurement applications.

Combining state-of-the-art Intel

Core™ i7-4700EQ 2.4 GHz pro-

cessors and up to 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L memory, the

PXIe-3985 utilizes four separate computing engines on a single

processor, enabling execution of four independent tasks simulta-

neously. With a configurable PCIe switch, the PXIe-3985 can sup-

port 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 com-

plex testing tasks. The PXIe-3985 series provides ample inter-

faces, including two DisplayPort connectors, allowing connection

to two monitors, dual USB 3.0 connections for high speed periph-

eral 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.

NOTE:

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 sys-

tems are required.

PXI Trigger Connector

Figure 1-3: PXI Trigger SMB Jack

The PXI trigger connector is a SMB jack, used to route external

trigger signals to or from the PXI backplane. Trigger signals are

TTL-compatible and edge sensitive. The PXIe-3985 provides four

trigger routing modes from/to the PXI trigger connector to synchro-

nize PXI modules, including

X From a selected trigger bus line to PXI trigger connector

X From the PXI trigger connector to a selected trigger bus line

X From software trigger to a selected trigger bus line

X From software trigger to PXI trigger connector

All trigger modes are programmable by the provided driver. Please

refer to Section A: PXI Trigger I/O Function Reference for further

information.

DisplayPort Connectors

Provide monitor connection, with, if connecting to VGA/DVI/HDMI

monitors, installation of requisite adapters required. Dual display

function is also supported.
