Description
The National Instruments PCI-8330 MXI-3 Interface Board, with a part number of 184693B-01 (777944-01), falls under the category of PXI Remote Controllers. This model, denoted as PCI-8330, is designed to facilitate robust and efficient communication between devices.
It incorporates the MXI-3 interface type, known for its high performance, which supports serial data rates of up to 1.5 Gbit/s. The board is engineered to enable a maximum bus-to-bus distance of 10 meters when using copper and extends up to 200 meters with fiber-optic connections, offering flexibility in system design. Users can configure their setups in either a daisy-chain or star configuration, with the ability to link up to 254 devices together without compromising on performance.
When it comes to data transfer rates, the PCI-8330 excels with a peak rate of 132 Mbytes/s and a sustained rate of 84 Mbytes/s, ensuring efficient and reliable data exchange. Despite its robust capabilities, the board is relatively lightweight at just 0.33 lb and has compact dimensions of 4.2 x 6.9 in, making it an easy fit for various setups.
Furthermore, it operates within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 to 70 °C. This durability is complemented by its ability to function optimally within a wide humidity range, both in operation and storage, ensuring reliability in diverse environmental conditions.
