NI Optical Communication Lab


The NI Optical Communication Lab comprising of the NI ELVIS Optical Communication
Add-on Board extends NI ELVIS, NI ELVIS II, and NI ELVIS II+ with hardware and lab
exercises to teach concepts related to Fiber Optic technology for Digital Communications.

The NI ELVIS Optical Communication Add-on Board employs an effective, modular, and
hands-on approach using which students can rapidly build baseband communication circuits
with fiber optic links by working with fiber and wire-based patch cables. It features a block
diagram approach that allows students to build and measure communications systems
corresponding to those commonly found in textbooks.

Working from block diagrams, students can create communication circuits by wiring
together system components with plug-in patch cables. A comprehensive lab manual is
also included with experiments that feature background information and step-by-step
instructions.

The NI Optical Communication Lab allows students to perform over 12 experiments in


digital and fiber optic communications in the single, self contained, portable unit.
