The module is designed for controlling, processing, and transmitting measured data to a higher-level system. The module is equipped with AD and DA converters for transmitting measurement impulses and detecting responses. The data from the converters are processed in the FPGA and then evaluated in a powerful control module, the NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX, which is installed directly on the mainboard. Communication with the higher-level system then takes place via 1Gb Ethernet or 10 Gbit Ethernet using SFP+ high-speed transceivers.
