Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8212 brings GPIB instrument control and Ethernet networking together on one PXI module. Its integrated design conserves chassis slots when both interfaces are needed in an instrumentation system.

NI identifies the GPIB controller as the TNT4882 ASIC and describes the operating system as recognizing the Ethernet and GPIB functions separately. Installation documentation covers Ethernet driver setup, network cabling, indicators, and troubleshooting.

  • Combines Ethernet and GPIB functionality in one PXI slot.
  • Supports 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Ethernet operation.
  • Uses the NI TNT4882 ASIC for GPIB control.
  • Supports the high-speed HS488 GPIB protocol.
  • Provides Ethernet activity/link and speed LEDs.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Does the PXI-8212 provide both Ethernet and GPIB?

Yes. It combines a GPIB controller and a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet controller in a single PXI slot.

Which connectors does the PXI-8212 use?

It uses an IEEE 488 standard 24-pin connector for GPIB and an RJ-45 connector for Ethernet.

What cabling is specified for 100 Mb/s Ethernet?

NI specifies Category 5 twisted-pair cabling and a 100Base-TX hub or switch, not a 100Base-T4 hub.

Is the PXI-8212 listed in NI-488.2 16.0 for Windows?

Yes. NI lists it as a supported GPIB interface in NI-488.2 16.0 for Windows. That listing does not establish Ethernet driver support for the same operating systems.
