National Instruments Introduces The New NI PXIe-PCIe8375 MXI-Express Remote Controller for PXI Express

The new NI PXIe-PCIe8375 MXI-Express remote controller for PXI Express incorporates a x4 PCI Express link to provide a low-latency interface with sustained bandwidth of up to 838 MB/s to and from an NI rack-mount, Dell or Hewlett-Packard host PC for advanced performance in a variety of applications. The fiber-optic cable and controller interface of the new controller offer increased distance between the host PC and chassis, improved electrical isolation and greater cabling flexibility compared to a copper remote controller cable and interface. The NI PXIe-PCIe8375 can deliver high-bandwidth performance at distances of up to 100 meters compared to the 7-meter distance afforded by using a passive copper cable and remote controller interface. The NI PXIe-PCIe8375 remote controller is ideal for many engineers and scientists designing distributed test, measurement and control systems that require high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfers to and from the host PC and PXI Express instrumentation. Such applications include high-channel-count data acquisition systems used for harsh environmental testing and control I/O or measurements in particle accelerators and large test and research facilities. The NI PXIe-PCIe8375 remote controller’s PCI Express configuration ensures software transparency and compatibility with no additional programming when upgrading PCI- and PXI-based MXI-3 and MXI-4 systems…
