Description
The 778957-01 is a part of the PXI Remote Controllers category, specifically the PXI-8336 model. This product stands out as an NI PXI-8336 MXI-4 Interface with Connectivity for Fiber Optic Cable, featuring isolation to ensure robust and secure connections. The interface type central to this device is MXI-4, designed to facilitate high-speed, reliable connections through fiber-optic connectors. It is compatible with either a PCI-8336 or another PXI-8336 card, offering flexibility in system expansion and integration.
One of the key highlights of the PXI-8336 is its data transfer rates, which can reach up to 1.5 GB/s, ensuring efficient and fast communication between connected systems. With a minimal slot requirement of just one slot, it is an efficient solution for system integration without occupying excessive space. Its control capability allows it to control a CompactPCI/PXI backplane through a PCI-based computer or another CompactPCI/PXI-based system, offering versatility in system configuration and control.
The device can be installed in either a controller slot or a non-controller slot of a compatible PXI/CompactPCI chassis, providing flexibility in system design. It also supports large system capability, allowing for expansion with more than one MXI-4 pair to accommodate growing system requirements. The PXI-8336 is capable of supporting up to 255 bus segments in a PCI hierarchy, thanks to its PCI Provisions Support, facilitating complex and extensive system configurations.
In terms of software, the PXI-8336 is compatible with the NI-VISA driver and can be used with the LabVIEW Real-Time module, ensuring ease of integration and use with National Instruments software platforms. Updates and configurations can be managed through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), simplifying maintenance and customization. Despite its advanced capabilities, the device maintains a compact form
