Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The VXI-8340 belongs to NI's VXI-8340 series of remote interfaces. The documented system architecture links a PCI-equipped computer, a PCI-8330 series host interface, and a VXI chassis through an MXI-3 cable.

NI documents configuration through Measurement & Automation Explorer and resource discovery through Resman. Driver selection must account for the specific VXI controller and operating system; general NI-VXI software support does not establish support for every controller.

  • MXI-3 connection between the host-side interface and VXI system.
  • Slot 0 installation with automatic system-controller detection in the default series configuration.
  • NI-VXI and NI-VISA software configuration using Measurement & Automation Explorer.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Where is the VXI-8340 installed?

NI's VXI-8340 series installation guide specifies Slot 0 of the VXI chassis.

Does the VXI chassis need to start before the host computer?

Yes. NI instructs users to power on the VXI-8340 series chassis at least 8 seconds before powering on the PC.

Can a current NI-VXI download be assumed to support this controller?

No. Check NI's controller-specific support table for the VXI-834x family and the intended operating system before choosing a driver.
