Chord Signaling By Generalizing Differential Signals
Chord Signaling uses a multi-wire signaling approach that generalizes differential signaling. It sends more bits of data over more wires whilst keeping all of the desirable properties of differential signaling.
Save Time And Maximize Reuse In HIL Testing With The SLSC Extension For PXI And CompactRIO
The SLSC is a way to avoid some of the custom engineering inherent in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests. NI explains SLSC and showcases the growing ecosystem of SLSC modules and accessories.
