Matrox Radient eCL tools


There are three Matrox Radient eCL external applications (utilities) available (Matrox Usage Meter, Matrox Performance Monitor, and Matrox Radient Bench) and one Matrox Radient eCL tool integrated in the MILConfig utility (Matrox Radient System Monitor). To access these utilities and this tool, in the MILConfig utility's tree structure, select the Boards Radient item. These utilities are located in the Launch external applications and Matrox Radient System Monitor panes, respectively.

Matrox Usage Meter utility

The Matrox Usage Meter utility calculates how much is being used of the grab section and the transfer section of each DMA write engine. This rate of utilization is expressed as a percentage. This utility also shoes the usage of on-board memory.

Matrox Radient Performance Monitor utility

The Matrox Radient Performance Monitor utility is integrated with the Microsoft Windows Performance Monitor and is used to monitor information about Matrox Radient eCL, such as:

  • Grab usage.

  • Transfer usage of each DMA engine.

  • Memory size of each memory bank.

  • Current and maximum temperatures of the grab and processing FPGAs.

  • Utilization of each processing unit present in the processing FPGA.

Matrox Radient Bench utility

The Matrox Radient Bench utility calculates the real-time transfer speed of the PCIe slot (in Mbytes/sec) from:

  • Matrox Radient to Host.

  • Host to Matrox Radient.

Matrox Radient System Monitor tool

The Matrox Radient System Monitor tool calculates the temperatures of the specified acquisition path (M_DEVn), and presents the following information inside the MILConfig utility:

  • An acquisition (device) selector.

  • The grab FPGA current temperature, in degrees Celsius.

  • The grab FPGA current temperature, shown on a sliding scale from 0 to 85 degrees Celsius.

  • The grab FPGA maximum recorded temperature, in degrees Celsius.

  • The Processing FPGA current temperature, in degrees Celsius.

  • The Processing FPGA current temperature, shown on a sliding scale from 0 to 85 degrees Celsius.

  • The Processing FPGA maximum recorded temperature, in degrees Celsius.

  • The Processing FPGA fan speed, in RPM.

  • Either a check mark (if your Matrox Radient is operating in the normal range of temperatures) or an X (if your Matrox Radient is operating above the normal range of temperatures).
