The PXIe-8374 allows you to create multichassis PXI systems that interface to the same computer. You can use the PXIe-8374 to daisy chain up to eight PXI chassis to the same system computer, which can be a PXI Controller or a PC connected with a Device for PXI Remote Control. You can also extend the PXI system by connecting RAID Arrays, Software Defined Radio Devices, and Software Defined Reconfigurable Radio Devices.
Applications and Use Cases of PXIe-8374
The PXIe-8374 MXI-Express Remote Controller Module is a PXI Express MXI-Express remote controller module designed to connect a PXI/PXIe chassis to a host PC via PCIe over cable. It enables reliable high-speed communication, system expansion, and flexible deployment, making it suitable for modular and scalable test systems.
1. Remote PXI System Control
PXIe-8374 allows a host PC to control a PXI chassis externally, enabling flexible placement of instrumentation and centralized system management.
2. High-Speed Data Communication
Provides PCIe-based communication over cable, ensuring high bandwidth and low latency between the PXI system and the host computer.
3. Test System Expansion
Used to connect additional PXI chassis, enabling scalable systems with increased channel count and measurement capability.
4. Modular Test & Measurement Systems
Supports separation of measurement hardware and computing resources, improving system flexibility and maintainability.
5. Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
Widely used in ATE systems for controlling multiple PXI modules and synchronizing test operations.
6. Industrial & Production Testing
Applied in manufacturing environments for efficient, high-throughput testing and data acquisition.
7. Research & Laboratory Applications
Used in labs for building flexible, scalable, and high-performance measurement systems.
