PXIE-8638 Datasheet, PDF (1/1 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – PXI-5 PXI Express hardware specification Rev.1.0 compliant
PCIe-PXIe-8638
PCI Express Control of PXI Express
Remote Controller
Introduction
The PCIe-PXIe-8638 PCI Express-to-PXI Express expansion kit
provides control of PXI Express modules installed in a PXI Express
chassis using high bandwidth PCI Express technology. The extension
kit can provide up to 4GB/s using PCIe Gen 2 x8 signaling. With
comprehensive hardware and software transparency, the expansion
kit enables fast and convenient detection of any PXI cards installed in the system, requiring no additional
drivers or software.
Controlling PXITM with PCI Express®
The PCIe-PXIe-8638 PCI Express-to-PXI Express expansion kit provides additional PXI instruments slots to
the host computer by implementing a PCI Express-based control of PXI modules.The technology consists
of a PCIe-8638 host adapter installed in the host computer, a PCIe x8 cable, and a PXIe-8638, a remote
controller with the 3U (Eurocard) expansion module. The PCIe-8638 comes in a PCI Express x8 footprint
and equips with PCIe x8 cable connector.
