The GX3611 is a 3U PXI FPGA card with 80, LVDS channels and is comprised of the GX3500 PXI FPGA card and the GX3511 expansion card. The card provides 80 LVDS transceiver channels. Each channel includes a 100 ohm termination.

Programming and Software

The board is supplied with the GXFPGA library, a software package that includes a virtual instrument panel, and a Windows 32/64-bit DLL driver library and documentation. The virtual panel can be used to interactively program and control the instrument from a window that displays the instrument’s current settings and status. In addition, interface files are provided to support access to programming tools and languages such as ATEasy, LabView, LabView/Real-Time, C/C++, Microsoft Visual Basic®, Delphi, and Pascal. An On-Line help file and PDF User’s Guide provides documentation that includes instructions for installing, using and programming the board.
A separate software package – GtLinux – provides support for Linux 32/64 operating systems.
