Overview
The National Instruments ExpressCard MXI for PXI Express interface
kit gives you direct control of PXI Express systems via your laptop
computer. The ExpressCard-to-PXI Express link is transparent to software
applications and drivers, therefore, it provides the ability to use laptop
computers to control PXI Express systems. The NI ExpressCard MXI for
PXI Express interface kit is ideal for portable systems such as those used
for field tests. You can pair it with DC-powered chassis to create mobile
solutions for applications such as in-vehicle data logging, NVH, NDT, and
RF testing.
Compatibility with MXI-Express
for PXI Express
The ExpressCard MXI for PXI Express kit uses the same PXI Express
module (NI PXIe-8360) and cable as the MXI-Express for PXI Express kits
(NI PXIe-PCIe836x) that provide PCI Express control of PXI Express from
desktop computers, servers, and workstations. Because of this, you can use
both your laptop and desktop computers to control the same PXI Express
system without having to replace the controller module or cable.
Ordering Information
ExpressCard MXI Control of PXI Express
With an ExpressCard MXI for PXI Express link, you can transparently
control a PXI Express system from a laptop computer with either an
ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 slot. The ExpressCard MXI for
PXI Express link consists of an NI ExpressCard-8360 card in the laptop
computer connected via an ExpressCard MXI cable to an NI PXIe-8360
module in slot 1 of a PXI Express chassis. The NI ExpressCard-8360
card provides a x1 (“by one”) PCI Express link that is cabled to the
NI PXIe-8360 module. Thus, all PXI and PXI Express modules appear
as if they are PCI boards within the computer itself. However, you benefit
from the increased number of slots, power and cooling per slot, module
selection, and synchronization features provided by PXI.
