Description
The National Instruments PXI-8368 PXI Remote Control Module, identified by part numbers 157298B-02L, 789394-01, and 157298A-02L, falls under the category of PXI Remote Controllers. This module enables a robust connection and control over PXI systems.
The PXI-8368 model is equipped with 2 LEDs that provide real-time indication of the PCI Express link status, ensuring users can visually monitor the connection integrity at any time.
When it comes to compatibility, it is crucial for users to note that the expansion chassis should not be powered off until the host PC has been completely powered down. This precaution helps in preventing any potential data loss or hardware damage.
Regarding cabling support, the PXI-8368 is designed to work with fiber-optic links only, emphasizing its use in environments where high-speed data transfer is essential, and the integrity of the data must be maintained over longer distances without electromagnetic interference.
The module’s data throughput capabilities vary based on the type of cabling used. With copper cabling, it can achieve a Gen2 x8 connection, offering speeds up to 3.2 GB/s. Conversely, when utilizing fiber-optic cabling, the throughput is at a Gen2 x4 connection, reaching up to 1.6 GB/s. These specifications ensure that the PXI-8368 can handle a wide range of high-speed data transfer requirements, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
