FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Which chassis-side interface pairs with the PCI-8336?

NI lists the PXI-8336 as the approved endpoint, connected using a fiber-optic MXI-4 cable.

Can the PCI-8336 connect to a PXI-8366?

No. NI explicitly states that this combination does not work, even though the connectors match. MXI-4 and MXI-Express use different communication protocols.

Does NI document Windows 10 support for this interface?

Yes. NI's compatibility article identifies MXI-4 support in PXI Platform Services 18.0 and states that the PCI-8336/PXI-8336 system is compatible with Windows 10. Check the selected driver release's supported operating systems before installation.
