The PXIe-8398 enables control of a PXI Express chassis from an external host, such as a desktop PC, rackmount controller, or a separate master chassis. Using a Gen 3 x16 PCI Express link, the PXIe-8398 provides up to 16 GB\/s of data transfer between the chassis and host over a copper or fiber-optic cable connection.<\/p>\n

Applications and Use Cases of PXIe-8398<\/strong><\/p>\n The PXIe-8398 MXI-Express Interface Kit is a high-speed MXI-Express interface solution used to connect a host PC to a PXI Express chassis. It is typically part of a remote control architecture, allowing users to operate PXIe systems from an external computer instead of relying on an embedded controller. This makes it ideal for flexible, scalable, and high-performance test platforms.<\/p>\n Key Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Host PC to PXIe Chassis Connection<\/strong> 2. Remote-Controlled Test Systems<\/strong> 3. High-Speed Data Transfer and Expansion<\/strong> 4. Automated Test Systems (ATE)<\/strong> 5. Flexible and Upgradeable System Architecture<\/strong> 6. Laboratory, Validation, and Engineering Development<\/strong> 7. Industrial and Production Applications<\/strong> Supported Cable Type: Copper
PXIe-8398 enables a desktop or workstation PC to communicate directly with a PXIe chassis, allowing the external computer to function as the system controller.<\/p>\n
It is widely used in PXIe systems where engineers prefer to run test and measurement applications from a separate host PC for easier maintenance and system management.<\/p>\n
PXIe-8398 supports fast communication between the host and chassis, making it suitable for applications involving high-speed data acquisition, signal analysis, and large data transfers.<\/p>\n
Commonly deployed in automated test systems where centralized control from a workstation is preferred for managing multiple modules and running test sequences efficiently.<\/p>\n
Because the host PC can be upgraded or replaced independently, PXIe-8398 provides a flexible architecture for long-term scalability and performance improvements.<\/p>\n
It is often used in laboratory and engineering environments where users need a convenient PC-based platform for prototyping, validation, and development.<\/p>\n
Suitable for manufacturing and industrial test systems that require stable PC-based control, centralized data logging, and reliable system communication.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
