Description
The PCIe-8372 is a product within the PXI Remote Controllers category, bearing the part number 194591B-01 (779724-01). This item is a National Instruments PCIe-8372 MXI-Express Interface Board, designed to facilitate high-speed, reliable connections within testing and measurement environments.
It is compatible with MXI-Express x4 copper cables, supporting lengths of up to 7 meters, ensuring a flexible setup in various spatial configurations. The board is equipped with 2 ports, each utilizing x4 lane width, which means it comprises four x1 PCI Express lanes. This configuration enables a high transmission rate of 10 Gbps bidirectional, ensuring swift data transfer between connected devices.
For installation, it requires a PCI Express slot of x4 or higher, adhering to the PCI Express Specification, Revision 1.0a. This makes it a versatile component that can be integrated into a wide array of systems without requiring specific or proprietary slots.
The device supports additional chassis linking, either by daisy-chaining or by installing additional PCIe-8372 boards in open slots. This feature allows for significant expansion and flexibility in system design, enabling the connection of multiple chassis seamlessly.
An integrated LED indicator displays the status of the device with PWR/LINK signals that can be Off, Solid Red, Solid Amber, or Solid Green, providing clear, at-a-glance diagnostic information regarding the board’s operational status.
