the Cobalt® family of high-performance 6U OpenVPX boards based on the Xilinx
Virtex-6 FPGA. They consist of one or two Model 71671 XMC modules mounted
on a VPX carrier board. Model 57671 is a 6U board with one Model 71671 module while the Model 58671 is a 6U board with two XMC modules rather than one. These models include four or eight D/As with a wide range of programmable interpolation factors, four or eight DUCs, and four or eight banks of memory.
