How firwmware may take advantage of fast data streaming on PCIe/PXIe platform

[Firmware_programmer]

Hello
I am a firmware engineer. I need to write a firmware for an arbitrary waveform generator. I use NI VISA to send/receive binary data form the instrument(viMoveInxx/viMoveOutxx functions). The new card will be with PCIe/PXIe possibility. I want be sure that the data streaming will be faster than possible ( include possibility of DMA transfer or/and use memory on the PCIe chip -PLX8311). How I do this?
Thanks for help

Hello Firmware_programmer, 

I have included a few links below that will provide general guidelines to help you get started in developing firmware for your Arbitrary Waveform generator on the PXIe platform.
