The National Instruments PXI-PCI833x interface kits give PC's direct control of PXI systems using MXI-4 technology. You can also use NI PXI-8331 and NI PXI-8336 modules for linking multiple PXI chassis. MXI-4 is a high-bandwidth link that is transparent to software applications and drivers, therefore providing the ability to use high performance desktop computers or servers to control PXI systems.
The MXI-4 link consists of a PCI-8331 (copper) or PCI-8336 (fiber-optic) board in the PC, connected via the appropriate cable (not included) to a PXI-8331 (copper) or PXI-8336 (fiber-optic) module in slot 1 of a PXI chassis. For convenience, you can purchase either a complete MXI-4 kit with all necessary components, or purchase the PCI board, PXI module, and cable separately.
The MXI-4 can be used to 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 a PXI-8331 (copper) or PXI-8336 (fiber-optic) module into any peripheral slot of the master chassis. Connect with the appropriate cable to a second PXI-8331 or PXI-8336 in slot 1 of the slave chassis.
