The BMX module is a platform specialized for local control and measurement functions on a real time operating system basis. All real-time and FPGA functions, as well as the complete application can be programmed with the programming language LabVIEW™ from National Instruments ™. High level LabVIEW-API and driver functions to access the modules hardware and IO capabilities are available. The module is delivered with a basic software framework to acquire, process and store measurement and control data. These tasks are performed by the Core Power-PC CPU with the operating system VxWorks, and the on board FPGA for very fast and deterministic control and monitoring functionality.
A separate communication controller manages the remote access to the system and the communication infrastructure like GSM, 3G and WiFi radio functions. Via the embedded controller one can remotely transfer stored data or copy new control parameters onto the system. Even the remote exchange of the complete LabVIEW application software is possible. Embedded VPN (Virtual Private Network) functions secure the remote access for the operator or system maintainer.
A high sense GPS receiver supplies precise geo-position information as well as precise timing information, which can time stamp measurement signals down to microsecond accuracy.
