FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is the PXI-8512 the same as the PXI-8513?

No. The PXI-8512 is a high-speed CAN interface. The PXI-8513 adds software-selectable physical-layer options, including low-speed/fault-tolerant and single-wire CAN. NI advises checking each device's specifications rather than assuming interchangeability.

Does the PXI-8512 CAN transceiver require an external power supply?

NI lists the PXI-8512 high-speed CAN physical layer as internally powered.

Which software driver supports the PXI-8512?

The PXI-8512 uses NI-XNET. Check the selected driver's release documentation for operating-system and development-environment support.
