Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8175 belongs to the NI 8171 Series of embedded controllers. The series installation guide places the controller in the PXI chassis system controller slot and documents front-panel VGA and PS/2 connections.

For PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 systems, NI specifically identifies the PXI-8175 as providing direct interfaces to the chassis LCD, IDE CD-ROM drive, and PS/2 mouse and keyboard. LCD operation requires the appropriate chassis selection in BIOS.

Software selection requires attention to legacy support: NI lists the PXI-8175 among controllers whose support was removed in PXI Platform Services 3.2.2. Confirm the installed operating system and required driver versions before planning a software change.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Where is the PXI-8175 installed in a PXI chassis?

Does NI document PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 integration?

Yes. NI explicitly states that the NI 8175 interfaces directly with these chassis, providing LCD display, IDE CD-ROM, and PS/2 mouse and keyboard signals. The LCD chassis setting must be selected in BIOS.
