PCIe-8371

Part number(s):
779723-01

x4 Gen1 PCI Express Host, 832 MB/s, Copper Cable MXI-Express Device for PXI Remote Control

Overview

The PCIe-8371 is an MXI-Express remote controller for devices or systems cabled over PCI from a computer with a PCI Express slot. The PCIe-8371 remote controller provides a x4 PCI Express link over a copper cable to the PXIe-8370 remote control module when used for PXI system control. This link is transparent to software applications and drivers, so computers and servers can control connected devices with no additional programming. With NI remote controllers, PXI modules can be used as if they are PCI devices directly installed in the computer.

    NI LabVIEW+ Suite, Subscription License, Download

    Recommended for engineers building full test and validation systems where modular code development and higher-level frameworks are needed to accelerate development for shorter time to market.

    The LabVIEW+ Suite includes the following products:

    • NI LabVIEW—Provides a graphical programming environment for test system development, enabling connectivity to any instrument and fully integrated user interfaces.
    • NI TestStand—Eliminates the need for time-intensive in-house sequencer development and maintenance by providing an off-the-shelf test management software for validation and production test.
    • NI DIAdem—Saves engineers hundreds of hours of manual data analysis and report creation with automation.
    • NI FlexLogger™ software—Simplifies data acquisition and data logging with interactive measurement setup for NI DAQ hardware.
    • NI InstrumentStudio™ software—Provides a central location for configuration, measurement, and automation.
    InstrumentStudio Professional (789987-35)
    InstrumentStudio Professional, Subscription License, Download

    Recommended for quick and easy instrument measurements. Leverage the sequencer built into InstrumentStudio to automate tests and measurements with no prior coding experience required. Create and use plug-ins to interface with third-party hardware and take custom measurements.

    Key Workflows

    • Quickly configure and control instruments in an interactive, project-based environment.
    • Take custom measurements and control third-party hardware using the plug-ins feature.
    • Bridge the gap between first measurement to automation using the built in sequencer, or export configurations to advanced automation tools such as NI TestStand and NI LabVIEW.
