PXI-8433 RS-422 Port Configuration

[Minesh]

Greeting,

I hope this is a simple question. Does the RS-422 PXI-8433/4 card have the ability to configure any sort of data encoding, i.e. NRZ, GE Thomas, Manchester, etc?

I have worked with FASTCOMM RS-422 boards which support this. I could not find any information concerning encoding and the 8433 but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it only does UART RS-422.  Basically, it behaves just like a standard serial port.

What you might have to do is get an R Series board (with LabVIEW FPGA) and program the interface yourself.  I had to do that with a Manchester encoded bus.  Just use a conversion chip to convert the RS-422 signal into a single digital line that you can feed into the FPGA card.
