National Instruments VXI-PXI8340 VXIbus Interface Kit
Featured with VXI Plug&Play compliance, the NI VXI-PXI8340 is a VXIbus Interface Kit for CompactPCI systems. This model is developed on MXI-3 technology and considered a robust solution for controlling any VXI system through a PCI-enabled computer. The VXI-PXI8340 features slot 0 capability and can assume the role of the system resource manager. With this interface kit, you can connect the PCI bus of your external computer or PXI system to an independently operating VXIbus. The VXI-PXI8340 is offered with copper cabling. However, a fiber-optic variant of this interface kit is also available.
An extended link distance (up to 200 m) is the biggest benefit of using the fiber-optic version since links only up to 10 meters are possible with copper cabling. However, you can extend the PCI bus of your ordinary desktop computer into Slot 0 of your VXI chassis by using this specially designed VXIbus Interface Kit.
The NI VXI-PXI8340 is a combination of several components including: a PCI MXI-3 interface card, a VXI Slot 0 module, and an MXI-3 (flexible) cable. This model is designed to fully comply with all requirements defined in the VXIPlug&Play standards and offered with comprehensive software tools to deal with debugging and troubleshooting issues. This VXIbus Interface Kit allows you to work easily in a multi-chassis environment since the interface software is designed to deal with each chassis as a separate VXI system. Thus, you are not supposed to deal with complex logical address assignment issues that are faced generally.
