Here is what is currently possible (8PI Control Panel version 2.03 / SPI Storm Studio version 1.1.8). 1) Multiple devices that use 8PI Control Panel as control software can be used on the same PC. This applies to GP and Xpress series devices being used together.…
No, they are not. Applying a voltage that goes beyond the absolute maximum ratings shown on the top label of the device and in the device data sheet is likely to damage the device. Click here to go to our 'Documentation page' and download our devices data…
You can use the external I/O voltage connector (VEXT) of the GP and Xpress series devices to supply a voltage different from 3.3V for the device I/Os. - the supplied voltage MUST be lower than 3.3V - acceptable range is 1.5V to 3.3V. - the procedure and location…
8PI Control Panel software must be used to control GP and Xpress series devices. ‘8PI Control Panel software’ notably includes: Windows(R) graphical user interface, C/C++ libraries and TCL/tk interface. 8PI Control Panel software includes all the modes…
Xpress series devices constitute our entry-level price devices. Xpress devices are dedicated to one single type of application only. GP series devices are more advanced in terms of number of functionalities, upgradeability and performance. Both GP and Xpress…
1) 'Burst throughput' is the maximum bit rate of the device at its connection with the device under test. This bit rate is defined by the maximum frequency and the maximum data width at this connector. Example: GP-24100 can output up to 16 bit-patterns at…
Configuration files are very useful to start up a session with GP and Xpress series without having to setup the device from the start each time. The configuration files can be used with all the provided user interfaces: GUI, C/C++ and TCL/tk. Look for 'ReadConfFile'…
The maximum data throughput of GP devices is achieved by GP-24xxx devices, which can run at up to 100 MHz for - Data generation in digital pattern generator mode of operation; - or data sampling in logic analyzer mode of operation. Given that the maximum…
GP or Xpress series device can have to 2 LED: - the RED LED can be see through the main device connector main opening, 'inside' the box. This red LED can be found on all GP or Xpress series devices, no matter the device revision. - the BLUE LED is present…
