Barron Stone and Chetan Kapoor have conducted a teardown of the Nintendo Wii to test various components using National Instruments LabVIEW and PXI based modular instruments. In Part 2 of this Engineering TV video, Barron discusses using the PXI-5114, a high-speed digitizer, to test the Wii's video signals. Using NI’s patented T-Clock synchronization technology, these digitizers can be synchronized to create systems of up to 34 phase-synchronous 1 GS/s channels, or they can be integrated with other NI hardware to build a complete, automated mixed-signal test system. Chetan Kapoor reveals additional capabilities of the PXI modular system when working with the Nintendo Wii Remote.
