MXI-Express, a high-bandwidth serial link transparent to software applications and drivers, provides the ability to use high-performance desktop computers, servers, and workstations to control PXI systems. Cabled PCI Express Technology The NI PCIe-8361 and PCIe-8362 boards provide one or two cabled PCI Express links, respectively. The links have x1 (“by one”) lane widths. The PXI-8360 module includes a bridge that converts the PCI Express link to the PCI bus used in PXI. Thus, all PXI modules appear as PCI boards within the computer itself. PCI Express Control of PXI With a MXI-Express link, you can transparently control a PXI system from any PCI Express slot, so you can use desktop computers, servers, and workstations to control PXI systems. MXI-Express features a transparent link where all PXI modules appear as 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. The MXI-Express link consists of an NI PCIe-8361 or PCIe-8362 board in the PC that is connected via a MXI-Express cable to a PXI-8360 module in slot 1 of a PXI chassis. The NI PCIe-8361 board provides one PCI Express link, which you can cable to a PXI-8360 module in a PXI chassis. The NI PCIe-8362 board provides two PCI Express links, each of which you can cable to individual PXI-8360 modules in separate PXI chassis. Thus, you can use a single NI PCIe-8362 board to simultaneously control two PXI systems. For your convenience, you can purchase either a complete MXI-Express kit with all necessary components or the PCI Express board, PXI module, and cable separately. PCI Software Compatibility PCI Express features software compatibility with PCI. Without making any modifications to your software, you can use MXI-Express with an application written for a PXI system controlled via a PCI remote controller, such as MXI-3 or MXI-4. Multichassis PXI Systems You can use a single NI PCIe-8362 board to simultaneously control two PXI systems. You also can incorporate multiple NI PCIe-8361 or PCIe-8362 boards in a PC with multiple PCI Express slots to add PXI chassis to a system. You cannot use a PXI-8360 module to connect multiple PXI chassis. However, using MXI-4, you can connect multiple PXI chassis in a star or daisy-chain configuration within a single system. To connect two PXI chassis together with MXI-4, install an NI PXI-8331 (copper) or PXI-8336 (fiber-optic) module into any peripheral slot of the master chassis, and connect with the appropriate cable to a second PXI-8331 or PXI-8336 in slot 1 of the slave chassis. PCI Express Control of PXI (MXI-Express) Ordering Information For online configuration of a complete PXI system, including chassis, modules, and all accessories, visit ni.com/pxiadvisor.
