Description
The PCIe-8381 is a part of the PXI Remote Controllers category, boasting a unique part number 154058A-01L with an alternate identifier 782361-01. This device is specifically designed by National Instruments for PXI remote control applications, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability.
One of the standout features of the PCIe-8381 is its Auto Power Control. This feature allows for automatic power management, with the added flexibility of manual override. Users can manually power the downstream chassis before the host system, providing an additional layer of control.
Furthermore, the device is equipped with 6 Vertical LEDs that serve as link status indicators. These LEDs provide crucial information about the connectivity and operational status of the device at a glance, enhancing the user experience.
In addition to the vertical LEDs, the PCIe-8381 also features Backplane Link Status LEDs. These LEDs indicate the status of PCIe links between PCIe switches on the chassis backplane, offering detailed insights into the internal operations of the device.
Last but not least, the SMBus Controller Link Status LED is another noteworthy aspect of the PCIe-8381. This LED indicates the connection status of the PCIe switch to the onboard PCIe-to-PCI bridge for the SMBus controller. During normal operations, it blinks green with a 25% duty cycle, providing a clear visual indication of the controller’s status.
