PCI-GPIB and PCI-6025E memory and storage capabilities (security concerns)

[LMigeon]

Hi,

I am facing a situation.

For security reasons, I have to check if these two component have storage capabilities and their effects.

The bench in place uses PCI-GPIB and PCI-6025E cards.

It is important to distinguish:
Case1: onboard memory and board settings are both volatile, nothing else, nothing saved.
Case2: the device integrate EEPROM or FPGA component where writting/modification on it can only be made by NI

Case3: added to parameters’ storage, it is possible to save other files/document/data

My issue would come with Case3, company would refuse to let the component leave its building… complicating a lot the bench’s maintenance and services.

Does anyone know if what is the case I am facing?

Thanks in advance to the community for the help.

Best regards,

Hello,

I'm not sure to fully understand your case number 3. In any case, all information related to memory managment on boards are described in letter of volatility documentation.

For PCI-GPIB : https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/376408a.pdf

For 6025e : https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019Y4xSAE&l=fr-FR&OpenDocument=

The last one is for E-Series DAQ boards. Even if the document does not list this specific board, it is still a E-Series DAQ. It's a pretty old board and this is the only documentation I've found.

Hope it answer you question.

Regards,

Paolo

Dear Paolo,

Perfect answer. It was exactly the information I was looking for.

Excellent reactivity, this is great.

I am not a NI expert, I could find only PCI-GPIB's Letter of Volatility but not the other.

You provided me all we needed to secure Quality process for the equipment maintenance.

Thank you.
