National Instruments PXIe-8360 PXI Remote Control Module

The PXIe-8360 (Part Number: 779700-01, 194402F-01) is a high-performance Remote Control Module in the MXI-Express x1 Series by National Instruments. The NI PXIe-8360 comes with an MXI-Express interface, which enables the user to carry out various advanced measurements, including the control of PXI and CompactPCI systems. This control operation is carried out with the help of a PC. The PC makes use of the MXI-Express link. This link is totally transparent and is controlled through software without any programming required. The system can be configure with the PXI platform Services Software and the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. The PXIe-8360 also includes two LEDs, which inform the user about the different states of operation of the module. These operations include the power supply status and link state of the module.

The NI PXIe-8360 can be utilized with a PCIe 8362 board and another PXIe 8360 module to control two PXI Express systems at the same time. However, it is not possible for the NI PXIe-8360 module to daisy chain numerous PXI Express chassis.

The PXIe-8360 has a PXIe Controller bus connector and supports MXI-Express x1 copper cables. This module makes use of a PCI Express to PCI Bridge to implement the interfacing mechanism. The module can be used with a cable length of 1, 3, or 7 meters. The MXI bandwidth is 250 MB/s for this module. The National Instruments PXIe 8360 Remote Control Module has a pollution degree of 2 and is meant for indoor use only. The NI PXIe 8360 module is fully compatible with PXI Express hardware. It is equipped with 1 PXI Express system slot.

The PXIe-8360 Remote Control Module incorporates many advanced operational capabilities, which makes it suitable for various testing requirements at the industrial level. This includes applications in mobile field testing, vehicle data logging, NVH, and NDT. This module is additionally useful for RF testing requirements.

The NI device weighs 0.37 lb, and measures 6.3 x 3.9 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, and a storage temperature range of -40 to 71 °C.
