1 NI-XNET LIN hardware uses the Atmel ATA6620 or ATA6625 LIN transceiver for PCI-XNET and PXI-XNET LIN Interfaces, and the TJA1028 transceiver for C Series and Transceiver Cable XNET LIN interfaces. PXI-8516 and PCI-8516 XNET interfaces revision F and higher use the ATA6625 LIN transceiver, while revision E and lower use the ATA6620 LIN transceiver. To identify your PCI/PXI NI-XNET hardware revision, refer to the 19xxxx<rev>–4xL text on the green label in the top left corner on the secondary side of the board; <rev> indicates the hardware revision.
