Description
The 778300-01 is a part of the VXI Remote Controllers category, specifically the VXI-PCI8340 model. This device is a VXI-PCI 8340, PCI to Single Port VXI-8430 Kit (Copper), which includes a 5m cable. It serves as an interface through the MXI-3 VXIbus Interface Kit for PCI, ensuring compliance with VXI Plug&Play standards. Utilizing MXI-3 technology, it offers slot capability specifically designed for Slot 0, allowing it to potentially take on the system resource manager role.
The cabling for this device is primarily copper, though a fiber-optic variant is available for those who require it. In terms of maximum link distance, it can reach up to 200m with the fiber-optic option and up to 10m with copper. This kit includes several components: the PCI MXI-3 interface card, the VXI Slot 0 module, and the MXI-3 cable. Additionally, it is supported by comprehensive tools designed for debugging and troubleshooting, ensuring smooth operation in a wide range of applications.
Its compatibility with multi-chassis environments is also a significant feature, allowing for versatile deployment in complex systems. Despite its obsolete status as announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can still access this critical piece of technology for their VXI remote control needs.
