Hello , the NI PXI-7813R HW card with 160 digital IOs which are free programmable via the 3Mio Virtex 2 FPGA is no longer available to buy at National Istruments. Im searching for a pin compatible successor card which is available to buy for new PXI/PXIe systems. The problem is that all 160 DIOs are used in our test system application. The only comparable card I found is the NI PXI 7842 R with only 96 DIOs. We need not the AD inputs on it. And the 7842R card is 5 times more expensive than the no longer available NI PXI 7813R card.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem? What is the solution that NI offers, that existing expensive test systems using the PXI-7813R card are still can be dublicated in future without expensive redesign?
Does anybody know what the successor HW card is for PXI-7813R card
Can anybody of you can give me some good advice and a acceptable solution?
Thanks a lot.
