Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8174 occupies the controller role in a PXI system. The NI 8171 Series installation guide describes insertion into the chassis system controller slot and directs users to the series user manual for BIOS setup, RAM configuration, and troubleshooting.

Software support must be checked for the exact model rather than assumed from other NI 8171 Series controllers. NI specifically excludes the PXI-8174 from LabVIEW Real-Time support, noting the absence of Real-Time safe mode.
