Description
This package includes the MGT Debug Toolkit, which is an API designed to easily adjust low-level MGT (Multi-Gigabit Transceiver) settings on the PXIe-6591R and PXIe-6592R. Included are several LabVIEW examples that are useful for design or test engineers to characterize the physical layer of their SERDES link. A single bitfile has been designed that allows for dynamic reconfiguration (without compiling) of the following settings:
- Line rate
- TX Pre and Post Emphasis
- Differential Voltage Swing
- RX Equalization
The MGT Debug supports in hardware pattern generation and checking capabilities for the following sequences:
- PRBS-7
- PRBS-15
- PRBS-23
- PRBS-31
- Square Wave
Please see MGT Debug Getting Started.pdf inside the attached zip file and the following video for more details.
Latest Version
NI MGT Debug Toolkit v1.0.2
Version 1.0.2 fixes an issue occurring in LabVIEW FPGA 2016 and later where the instruction FIFO resource is incorrectly capitalized, leading to compilation failures.
NI MGT Debug Toolkit v1.0.1
Version 1.0.1 fixes an issue where the FPGA Build Specification would attempt to place the compiled bitfile in a path that does not exist.
