Hi Chris,

Just out of interest, how fast can you send data between FPGAs using the local bus?

Cheers, Ben

Ben,

That is a good question.  The PXI Trig lines are not recommended to go above 20MHz.  I would imagine that it is similar, but I will have to check with our R&D and post back once I know for sure.

Unfortunately, we do not benchmark/test the maximum rates for these lines, so we do not have any "official" specification on them.  If you end up trying it out, and find some results, please post back to this forum to share what you find!

Thanks Chris!
