National Instruments PXI-PCI8368 MXI-Express Kit
The PXI-PCI8368 (Part Number: 783936-01) is an MXI-Express kit designed by National Instruments for industrial automation and measurement applications. Through the use of a 10-meter fiber-optic cable link, it enables smooth control and communication between a PC or laptop and different instrumentation included within a PXI, PXI Express, VXI, or CompactRIO chassis. The kit comes with an MXI-Express x1 10-meter fiber optic cable, the PCI-8368 MXI-Express Remote Controller, and the PXI-8368 Channel MXI-Express Interface Module. These parts work together to provide a strong connection that enables effective data transfer and control over long distances between the host computer and the target devices. The device facilitates communication and control of installed devices by acting as an interface between the PCI-8368 Remote Controller and the chassis.
The PCI-8368 Remote Controller serves as a link between the host system and the MXI-Express interface module when it is installed in a normal or low-profile PCI slot on a desktop or laptop. Between the host and target systems, dependable and quick data transfer is guaranteed by the 10-meter-long MXI-Express x1 fiber-optic connection. With the use of PCI Express technology, this cable can transmit data at up to 2.5 Gbps simultaneously in both directions. Compatibility with a large number of systems and devices is one of the PXI-PCI8368's primary features. With its smooth integration, it offers flexible system configuration for PCs, laptops, and workstations with PCI, PCI Express, or ExpressCard slots. Furthermore, it allows users to integrate diverse device types into a single system by supporting a number of chassis types, including as PXI, PXI Express, VXI, and CompactRIO. The PXI-PCI8368 kit includes PXI Platform Services software, which provides complete PXI/PXI Express functionality, to assure optimal performance and functionality.
The overall user experience and system efficiency are improved by this software, which makes it easier to identify chassis and controllers, trigger routing, and detect slots. It is noteworthy that certain BIOS configurations might not provide complete support for the expansion of the PCI-Express fabric or PCI bus, which could result in problems with booting or operation. In order to effectively manage PCI or PCI-Express resources and ensure smooth operation in a variety of system scenarios, some MXI-Express x1 products—like the PXI-PCI8368—incorporate extra capabilities.
