The National Instruments NI-6587 is a high-performance Digital I/O Adapter Module designed for use with the FlexRIO platform. It features 20 bidirectional digital channels, comprising 16 data channels and 4 programmable function interface (PFI) channels, all supporting 100 Ohm digital I/O termination and offering a maximum clock rate of 1 GHz. The NI-6587 is capable of executing user-defined protocols and interfacing with standard protocols in real-time, with a maximum data rate of 1 Gbit/s. The module supports low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) and can communicate across various signal types, including single-ended, differential, and serial signals at different voltage levels. Leveraging the power of an FPGA integrated between the processor and I/O, this module enhances data processing capabilities, allowing the system to manage real-time data efficiently without compromising overall performance. Suitable for industry experts seeking a balance of functionality and value, the NI-6587 module facilitates high-speed communication with devices under test and supports the simulation of custom protocols. When paired with an NI FlexRIO FPGA Module, it functions as the NI-6587R, further expanding its application capabilities.
