Description
The NI PXI-8336 MXI-4 Interface, bearing the part number 188535F-02 (originally 778957-01), falls under the category of PXI Remote Controllers. This model, known as PXI-8336, is designed to facilitate high-speed, fiber-optic communication between systems. It is compatible with both PCI-8336 and another PXI-8336, ensuring versatility in system configurations.
This interface is part of the MXI-4 series, known for its robust performance and reliability in demanding environments. With a data transfer rate of up to 1.5 GB/s, it is well-suited for applications requiring fast and efficient data exchange. The PXI-8336 is primarily used to control the CompactPCI/PXI backplane through either a PCI-based computer or another CompactPCI/PXI system, highlighting its role in enhancing system integration and functionality.
It requires only one slot for installation, making it a compact and efficient solution. The system configuration allows for its placement in either the controller slot or a non-controller slot of a compatible PXI/CompactPCI chassis, adding to its flexibility. Furthermore, the PXI-8336 comes with support for NI-VISA driver software and is compatible with the LabVIEW Real-Time module, ensuring ease of integration and use with various software environments.
The physical dimensions of the PXI-8336 are 3.9 x 6.3 inches, and it weighs approximately 0.55 lbs. Despite its compact size, it delivers powerful performance and connectivity. Although National Instruments has announced its obsolete status, it remains available for purchase and repairs, ensuring continued support for existing systems.
