Description
The National Instruments VXI-8360LT Remote Control Module, with part number 782002-01, is a high-performance MXI-Express Remote Control Module designed for use in VXI systems. This module requires only a single VXI C-size slot for installation and supports advanced features such as LXI-Wired Trigger and MXI-Express x1 interface.
Equipped with three SMB type connectors on its front panel, the module allows for trigger input, trigger output, and CLK10 I/O signals. Users can also take advantage of its capability to daisy-chain up to eight CLK10 and/or TTL triggers using the trigger bus ports, enhancing system scalability.
An essential tool included with the VXI-8360LT is the Resman diagnostics utility, which ensures the system is correctly configured and operational. Additionally, the module integrates an EEPROM that retains the default register values for the VXI circuitry, enabling the module to be operational within 5 seconds following a system reset.
For CLK10 timing signals, users can select between the internal CLK10 oscillator or the EXT CLK connector, providing flexibility for various system configurations.
