pxi ethernet streaming

[Dannn]

hi

i want to know if anyone has experimented with streaming using ethernet on a PXI(e) platform? i want to stream from a 100 Msps PXI digitizer to a non-pxi PC?

what are the issues at hand...?

currently my system is windows XP, ethernet gigabit on a host controller... i have also looked at PXI 8234..although for vision applications...could it be used...although i will have to get it..donot have it right now...

can anyone explain to me as well, how the data is routed from host digitizer such as 5122 - PXIe bus-controller-ethernet...etc
it would be a great help



thanx

Hey Dannn,

Streaming data via ethernet is realatively straightforward.  On your non-PXI chassis, are you running Labview there? The starting point is to check out the data server-client example that is available with the Labview distribution.  If you are looking for high performance, Simple TCP-IP Messaging (STM) API that has been developed by NI.  This API abstracts some of the basic tasks that you will always be doing but not to the point of Shared Variables (which seem to have a lot of issues).

I can't think of any gotchas that you have to look out for.

Hope this helps.
