Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The VXI-1394 belongs to NI's remote VXI controller range. NI's configuration documentation discusses the VXI-1394 as a Slot 0 interface, placing it at the controller end of a VXI instrumentation system rather than as a measurement module.

Driver compatibility is an important integration consideration. NI's historical release notes list VXI-1394 support under NI-VXI 3.5.2, while later driver support lists differ. Select the software version for the exact controller and host operating system rather than assuming a later NI-VXI release supports this model.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is the VXI-1394 a measurement module?

It is a remote VXI controller/interface, not a measurement module. NI documents it in the context of VXI controller configuration and software support.

Which NI-VXI version explicitly lists VXI-1394 support?

NI's historical release notes explicitly list VXI-1394 among the hardware supported by NI-VXI 3.5.2. This does not establish support for every operating system; check NI's controller support matrix before selecting a driver.

Can the VXI-1394 be used outside Slot 0?

NI's historical configuration note states that NI-VXI 2.0 does not support VXI-1394 interfaces in a multi-mainframe configuration and identifies Slot 0 as the intended placement in that context. Do not generalize this version-specific guidance to other software configurations without checking their documentation.
