National Instruments 779507-01 MXI Express Interface 

National Instruments part number 779507-01 is an identifying part number for the ExpressCard-8360, a single-channel MXI Express module that includes a high-speed connector cable, cable driver, and an ExpressCard module connector. This module connects to other devices using its built-in high-speed cable connector, which provides necessary signals like the system clock and reset signal. The NI 779507-01 is fully compatible with PXI hardware and supports a maximum cable length of 7 meters. Either an ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 slot is needed for the National Instruments 779507-01.

To enable full functionality, including controller identification, trigger routing, chassis identification, and slot detection, you need to install the PXI Platform service software. The ExpressCard-8360 also supports MXI-Express BIOS compatibility software, but it uses software controls instead of physical dip switches. The NI 779507-01 operates with a maximum current of 20 mA at +3.3 V Aux or 30 mA in total. It is designed for a pollution degree of nonconductive in category 2 and is intended for indoor use only. The device can withstand non-operating thermal shocks from -20°C to 65°C, up to five times and for 5 ms each. It provides a high-bandwidth serial connection that is transparent to drivers, software, and applications, enabling PXI system control from servers, workstations, laptops, and high-performance desktop systems. 

The National Instruments ExpressCard MXI interface kit allows direct control of PXI systems from a laptop computer. This interface provides a transparent link to software applications and drivers, enabling laptop-based control of PXI systems. It is well-suited for portable setups, such as field tests, and can be used with DC-powered chassis to create mobile solutions for applications like in-vehicle data logging.
