The NI PCI-6810 is a high-speed serial data analyzer for PCI bus systems that captures, analyzes, and generates serial data streams up to 10 Mb/s. Built for testing and debugging serial communication interfaces in manufacturing and laboratory environments, it delivers arbitrary serial pattern support and advanced event-based triggering across two configurable channels that can operate independently or combined as a single transceiver.
