Has anyone used the STAR-Dundee Spacewire PXI card?

[BowenM]

Building a tester for a widget that uses Spacewire, so I'm looking at the options. The STAR-Dundee is my top pick right now, but their LabVIEW drivers need to be purchased so I can't really evaluate how easy to use they are, etc.

Has anyone used this before? If so, how easy are the drivers? Alternatively, does anyone have any better suggestions for a Spacewire interface?

Self-bumping this once in hopes that someone around has worked with it before.

If not, guess I'll take the gamble and give it a try!

I work for STAR-Dundee and came across your post so I thought I would share some general information in case it is helpful to you or others.

We have two LabVIEW products, STAR-System for LabVIEW (https://www.star-dundee.com/products/star-system-for-labview) and a LabVIEW VISA Driver (https://www.star-dundee.com/products/spacewire-labview-visa-driver). STAR-System for LabVIEW is a high-level API to our equipment so it is very easy to use. The LabVIEW VISA Driver is a much lower-level API so it can have a steeper learning curve although it is designed specifically for real-time applications. However, both products come with detailed documentation and a suite of examples to get you started. We are also on hand to provide support as needed.

You are welcome to contact us (https://www.star-dundee.com/contact) if you have any questions or PM me for contact details.
