There are three Matrox Radient eV-CXP external applications (utilities) available (Matrox Usage Meter, Matrox Radient eV-CXP Performance Monitor, Matrox Radient eV-CXP Bench) and one Matrox Radient eV-CXP tool integrated in MILConfig (Matrox Radient eV-CXP System Monitor). To access these utility and this tool, in the MILConfig utility's tree structure, select the Boards Radient eV-CXP item. These utilities are located in the Launch external applications and Matrox Radient eV-CXP System Monitor panes, respectively.
The Matrox Usage Meter utility calculates how much is being used of the grab section and the transfer section of each DMA engin. This rate of utilization is expressed as a percentage. This utility also shows the usage of on-board memory.
The Matrox Radient eV-CXP performance monitor utility is integrated with the Windows Performance Monitor and is used to monitor information about the Matrox Radient eV-CXP, such as:
Grab usage.
Transfer usage of each DMA engine.
Memory size of the memory bank.
Current and maximum temperatures of the on-board FPGAs.
The Matrox Radient Bench eV-CXP utility calculates the real-time transfer speed of the PCIe slot (in Mbytes/sec) from:
Matrox Radient eV-CXP to Host.
Host to Matrox Radient eV-CXP.
The Matrox Radient eV-CXP System Monitor tool calculates the temperatures of the specified device (M_DEVn), and presents the following information inside MILConfig:
An acquisition (device) selector.
The grab FPGA current temperature, in degrees Celsius.
The grab FPGA current temperature, as shown on a sliding scale from 0 to 85 degrees Celsius.
The fan speed, in RPM.
The sensor for the auxiliary power connection.
Either a check mark (if your Matrox Radient eV-CXP is operating in the normal range of temperatures) or an X (if your Matrox Radient eV-CXP is operating above the normal range of temperatures).
