Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8336 provides the fiber-optic interface in an MXI-4 link. For PC-based control, the supported configuration connects a PCI-8336 in the host computer to a PXI-8336 in the expansion chassis.

For chassis-to-chassis expansion, NI also documents a PXI-8336-to-PXI-8336 pairing. A complete system requires two correctly paired interface boards, the appropriate fiber-optic cable, a host, an expansion chassis, and supporting software.

  • Fiber-optic cable interface for MXI-4 links.
  • Supports remote chassis control with a PCI-8336 host interface.
  • Supports chassis expansion using a second PXI-8336.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is the PXI-8336 a copper or fiber-optic interface?

The PXI-8336 uses a fiber-optic MXI-4 cable. NI specifies copper cables for 8331 pairings and fiber-optic cables for 8336 pairings.

Which interface boards can be paired with the PXI-8336?

NI lists PCI-8336-to-PXI-8336 and PXI-8336-to-PXI-8336 as allowable MXI-4 pairings.

Can it connect directly to a PCI-8366 MXI-Express interface?

No. NI specifically addresses a PXI-8336 connected to a PCI-8366 and explains that MXI-4 and MXI-Express communication protocols cannot be mixed.
