XPORT - Xilinx Virtex-4 FX12/FX20/FX60 FPGA I/O Module for Parallel DSP Board

Signatec's XPORT is a multi-port communications module with a customizable FPGA that can be plugged onto the PMP1000 to provide all around flexibility for general purpose communications with:

    ● RJ45 Connectors for Gigabit Ethernet and RS232
    ● Definable 26-pin Digital I/O Header with Direct
       Pin Connections to Onboard FPGA
    ● Open Source Virtex-4 FX-12 FPGA with Power PC
    ● Logic Files Provided for Interfacing to PMP1000 Board

The XPORT module allows for position, time and/or any general purpose data to be combined with the analog signal capture record.  Other possible uses include remote system monitoring via the GbE connection, making the XPORT an ideal component for RADAR and net-centric applications (just to name a few).  Below is an example of a typical XPORT application.
