Models 57661 and 58661 are members of the Cobalt® family of high-performance
6U OpenVPX boards based on the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. They consist of one or
two Model 71661 XMC modules mounted on a VPX carrier board. Model 57661 is a 6U board with one Model 71661 module while the Model 58661 is a 6U board with two XMC modules rather than one. These models include four or eight A/Ds, four or eight multiband DDCs, one or two programmable beamformers, and four or eight banks of memory.
