The 778958-01 NI PCI-8336 MXI-4 Interface Board with Connection for Fiber-Optic Cable is a high-performance extension interface designed for PXI Bus Computers, PCI, and CompactPCI based systems. This PCI-8336 Interface Board operates as a PCI-to-PCI bridge, offering excellent hardware transparency and a serial link speed of 1.5 GB per second. It is specifically designed to work with fiber optic cables, offering cable lengths of 10m, 30m, and 200m for long-distance connections. The PCI-8336 supports both 3.3V and 5V PCI signaling environments, retransmission, and error checking for increased reliability in harsh environments. It requires one PCI slot for operation and can be used with LabVIEW Real-Time and the NI-VISA software package provided on the MXI-4 software CD. The PCI-8336 must be installed with the PXI 8336 MXI-4 PXI Card and is compatible with CompactPCI chassis complying with PCI Specification Revision 2.2 or later. This device is ideal for applications requiring physical separation of a measurement system from a host PC.
