National Instruments PXI-8364 PXI Bus Extension Module

The PXI-8364 (Part number: 781395-01) MXI-Express x1 Series PXI Bus Extension Module enables the user to make multi-chassis PXI frameworks that build up interfaces on a similar PC. The user can utilize the PXI-8364 to serially interface up to eight PXI chassis to a similar PC framework, which can be an installed NI controller or a PC associated with a remote controller.

Since MXI links are software transparent, they do not require any programming. All PXI modules in the slave/downstream chassis show up as nearby gadgets in the master chassis. Since the hidden communication innovation for most National Instruments Remote Controllers is cabled PCI Express, these controllers offer an amazingly high transfer speed and low inactivity rate. These highlights simplify the process toward growing PXI frameworks to incorporate different chassis while offering high performance.

The NI PXI 8364 offers an NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) programming that gives a graphical perspective of the framework hierarchy, making it simple to distinguish and design the PXI modules present in chassis. To help multi-chassis arrangements, PXI implanted and rack-mount controllers from National Instruments have custom fundamental I/O frameworks that permit finished gadget lists. NI suggests using either a NI implanted controller or a rack-mount controller as the framework PC for the ace PXI chassis. To work with work area PC’s and PC’s that do not have this capacity, NI offers MXI-Express Compatibility Software.
