Laptop Control of PXI (ExpressCard MXI for PXI Express) NI PXIe-ExpressCard8360, NI ExpressCard-8360, NI PXIe-8360 NEW! • Higher throughput • ExpressCard MXI control of PXI Express/CompactPCI Express • 214 MB/s sustained throughput • ExpressCard/34 module, compatible with both ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 slots • Cabling up to 7 m with rugged screw-in connectors • Ability to use the same PXI Express module (NI PXIe-8360) and cable as MXI-Express for PXI Express • Software-transparent link that requires no programming 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. 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. For a list of compatible laptop computers, visit the NI PXIe-ExpressCard8360 model page on ni.com/pxi. 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.
