National Instruments 779701-03 PXI Remote Control Bundle

The 779701-03 PXI Remote Control Bundle from National Instruments is also known as the PXIe-PCIe8361 model. This bundle consists of the PCIe-8361 device, a high-speed copper cable connection, an MXI-Express cable, and the PXIe-8361 PXI Remote Control Module. It makes a strong connection between a PCI Express-equipped desktop PC or suitable device and a PXI Chassis, allowing remote operation of PXI and PXI Express systems via a software-transparent link.

When attached to a PXI Express chassis, the PCIe-8361 device offers a single PCI Express link with a sustained throughput of up to 192 MB/s. Because of its high throughput capacity, it is perfect for applications that need dependable remote control functionality and effective data transfer rates. Because the software-transparent link guarantees that no further programming is needed, integration and operation are made simpler.

The 779701-03 bundle makes it possible to operate PXI Express systems from any PCI Express slot, making a variety of computers—including workstations, servers, and desktops—able to administer PXI Express systems. In the controlling computer, this bundle basically converts PXI and PXI Express modules into PCI boards. PXI systems provide superior synchronization features, a wide array of modules, improved power and cooling per slot, and greater slot availability.

The PCIe-8361 board features one PCI Express link, which can be connected to an NI PXIe-8360 module in the first slot of a PXI Express chassis. When combined with two PXIe-8360 modules in different chassis, the PCIe-8362 board variant offers two PCI Express interfaces, enabling the simultaneous control of two PXI Express systems. This configuration is very helpful in sophisticated testing and automation settings when managing several PXI Express systems at once is necessary.

The 7-meter cable length of the 779701-03 bundle allows for flexible system configuration without sacrificing dependable and robust connectivity. To ensure that every connected module appears as a PCI board within the computer, the PXIe-8360 module bridges the PCI Express links to the PXI Express bus in the chassis backplane. By utilizing the sophisticated capabilities of PXI systems, this connection offers a flawless user experience.
