Via
Hyperception
(a National Instruments company) the UnderGraduate Control Laboratory
(UGCL) has received three of their
SPEEDY-33
Digital Signal Processing boards that allow for the implementation of
self-contained and high performance signal processing and real-time control
applications. Together with the newest LabVIEW embedded version, our students
can realize Concept-to-Implementation in a short time frame and some of them are currently being used in the
control projects of MAE171b. The SPEEDY-33 has a TI DSP (VC33) along with a number of
features that are important to many signal processing applications. The onboard FLASH
memory on the SPEEDY-33 allows the hardware to be useful for many standalone, embedded
DSP applications.

Following an equipment proposal written by Prof. de Callafon, National Instruments
has donated one of their new PXI based real-time control hardware systems to
the UnderGraduate Control Laboratory
(UGCL).
It consists of the PXI-1031
(4-slot 3U PXI Chassis), with 2 slots filled by a PXI-8186
(Mobile Pentium 4 2.2 GHz Embedded Controller) and a PXI-7831R
(Reconfigurable Multifunction I/O FPGA module with 8 independent AD/DA). The PXI box comes with 3 SCB-68
shielded connector blocks for easy signal and data access. The hardware will simplify the
implementation of real-time controllers for our students in the undergraduate control
laboratory and design classes and is a valuable new asset to our undergraduate
control laboratory.
