National Instruments PXI-8331 / PXI-8336 MXI-4 Interface
Features

• Software Transparent Link Requires No Programming
• Link Performance – 132 Mbytes/s Peak, 78 Mbytes/s Sustained
• Direct PC Control of PXI
• Implement Multichassis PXI Systems

The National Instruments PXI 8331/8336 interface kits give PCs direct control of PXI systems using MXI-4 technology. They can be used to link multiple PXI chassis. These interfaces couple 2 physically separate buses with either a copper or fiber-optic data link capable of 1.5 Gbit/s serial data rates. By implementing a PCI-PCI bridge over a high-bandwidth link, the MXI-4 provides remote control of PXI systems from PCI computers. The MXI-4 technology allows PXI modules to be used as if they are PCI modules directly installed to a computer.
