National Instruments 779505-03

The National Instruments 779505-03 MXI-Express Kit is a vital component of the MXI-Express x1 series, facilitating remote control of PXI systems. This kit features the PCIe-8361 MXI-Express device, which is installed in a PC and connects to the PXI-8360 module, located in slot 1 of a PXI chassis, via a robust copper MXI-Express connection. Designed for compatibility with applications utilizing PCI remote controllers like MXI-3 or MXI-4, the 779505-03 ensures seamless integration through a single PCI Express link with a lane width of x1. The included PCIe-8361 board features a low-profile design with standard brackets and utilizes a reliable screw-in connector to link with the PXI-8360 module, supporting cable lengths of up to 3 meters. While the kit allows for a maximum throughput of 110 MB/s for a single chassis and 160 MB/s for two chassis, it does not support the connection of multiple PXI chassis via the 779505-03. For systems requiring expanded connectivity, users can utilize MXI-4. If multiple PCI Express slots are available in a PC, this kit offers significant versatility, allowing for the integration of several PCIe-8361 boards to enhance system capabilities. The durable connectors and software compatibility ensure reliable remote PCI Express control of PXI systems, making the 779505-03 MXI-Express Kit an essential choice for sophisticated automation and control applications.
