National Instruments 779720-01 PXI Remote Control Module

Part number 779720-01 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the PXIe-8370 PXI Remote Control Module. Designed with an MXI-Express interface that is transparent, the module is built to operate both CompactPCI and PXI devices from a PC. Equipped with one system slot, the 779720-01 is able to integrate with either PXI Express or CompactPCI Express systems. The module is fully compatible with the PXIe Hardware Specification, utilizing a 7m copper cable to provide a reliable and high-performance connection to a host computer.

The power requirements of the 779720-01 vary, depending upon the specific power rail in question. For rails of +3.3 V, the maximum current is 3 A. For rails measuring +5 V and +12 V, the maximum currents are 5 mA and 1 mA, respectively. Lastly, a rail of +5 VAUX has a much higher maximum current of 400 mA. 

Built to withstand a variety of shock and vibration conditions, the robust 779720-01 remote control module handles a random vibration range of 5 Hz to 500 Hz. This range is the same for operating conditions at an amplitude of 0.3 grms as well as for nonoperating conditions with 2.4 grms. The operating shock is half-sine, with a peak of 30 g and a pulse of 11 ms. 

The 779720-01 functions the most effectively when used within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, and it can be securely stored within a diverse storage temperature range of -40 °C to 71 °C. It measures a compact 10.0 cm × 16.0 cm (3.9 in. × 6.3 in.) and weighs only 0.17 kg (0.37 lb).
