A MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express link helps you transparently control a PXI Express system from a x4 or higher PCI Express slot, so you can use National Instruments, Dell, or Hewlett-Packard desktop computers, servers, and workstations to control PXI Express systems.
MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express features a fully transparent, high-bandwidth, cabled PCI Express link where all PXI and PXI Express modules appear as PCI boards within the computer itself. However, you benefit from the increased number of slots, power and cooling per slot, module selection, and synchronization features provided by PXI Express.
The MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express link consists of an NI PCIe-8375 board in the PC that is connected via a x4 MXI-Express fiber-optic cable to an NI PXIe-8375 module in slot 1 of a PXI Express chassis. With the fiber-optic NI PXIe-PCIe8375 kit, you can electrically isolate your PXI Express measurement hardware from the PC with extended length cabling up to 100 m.
For your convenience, you can purchase a complete MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express kit with all necessary components or the PCI Express board, PXI Express module, and cable separately.
