PRN Generator

Purpose

The PRN (Pseudo-Random Number) Generator device generates pseudo-random numbers for test purposes. The signal can be detected in another part of the design by the PRN Verifier device, which shows a summary of the test results.

Tips:

• You can check for signal corruption over an XDAB connection by wiring a PRN Generator and a PRN Verifier on either side of an XDAB device.
• You can perform a continual test of the delay memory of a NioNode by wiring a PRN Generator and a PRN Verifier on either side of a Fixed-Point Delay device. Any memory failures will be detected by the PRN Verifier.
• You can use a PRN Generator and PRN Verifier to test an AES connection. You can make the physical connection between the AES cards in two NIONs, or you can create a loopback connection between the connectors on a single card.
