Hello, I am interested in using the cRIO platform for my application and have a question about acquiring high-speed serial data.
I need to have digital inputs to monitor a custom synchronized serial data that has 3 differential signals (RS-422 logic levels) which all operate at a specified frequency around 3MHz. One is a clock signal which the other 2 data lines are synchronized to. Is there any cRIO module that can handle the type of data I've mentioned? Here were the modules I researched, all with seemingly critical flaws.
- NI 9411 - Handles RS-422 logic levels but 500ns delay is a little too long.
- NI 9871 - Sufficient baud rate but not designed to handle a clock input.
- NI 9401 - 100ns delay is acceptable but inputs are designed for 5V single-ended.
I have seen examples of LabVIEW code with the FPGA loop times in the MHz so it seems like this should be possible. Any inputs are much appreciated thanks!
