It provides a <strong>PCI Express Gen 3 x16<\/strong> host interface and supports high-bandwidth communication between the host PC and compatible PXI Express remote control hardware.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nInstalled in a compatible PCI Express slot in the host computer, the PCIe-8398 connects to a compatible <strong>PXIe-8398 or PXIe-8399 PXI Remote Control Module<\/strong> using high-speed MXI-Express Gen 3 cabling.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis architecture allows a standard desktop PC, workstation, or rackmount computer to control PXI and PXI Express instrumentation through a software-transparent PCI Express connection. It is particularly suitable for automated test, high-speed data acquisition, RF testing, semiconductor validation, electronic test, and other applications requiring high-throughput communication between a host computer and PXIe instrumentation.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Product Overview<\/h3>\n<p>\n\u0417\u0435\u043c\u043b\u044f <strong>National Instruments PCIe-8398<\/strong> is a host-side component of a high-performance PXI Express remote control system.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA typical configuration is:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Desktop \/ Rackmount PC \u2192 PCIe-8398 \u2192 MXI-Express Gen 3 Cables \u2192 PXIe-8398 \/ PXIe-8399 \u2192 PXI Express Chassis<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 allows the PXI Express chassis to operate as an extension of the host computer&#8217;s PCI Express bus. This provides a software-transparent architecture in which PXI Express modules can be accessed by the host system without requiring a conventional embedded PXI controller.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Key Features<\/h3>\n<h4>PCI Express Gen 3 x16 Host Interface<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 uses a <strong>PCI Express Gen 3 x16<\/strong> host interface.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe high-bandwidth PCI Express architecture is designed for demanding PXI Express systems containing high-speed digitizers, RF instruments, FPGA modules, data acquisition hardware, and other bandwidth-intensive instruments.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Up to 13.6 GB\/s Performance<\/h4>\n<p>\nNI specifies the PCIe-8398 as a <strong>13.6 GB\/s device for PXI remote control<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis high-throughput architecture is particularly valuable when large amounts of measurement data must be transferred between PXI Express instrumentation and the external host computer.\n<\/p>\n<h4>PXI Express Remote Control<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe primary function of the PCIe-8398 is to allow an external computer to remotely control a compatible PXI Express chassis.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nInstead of installing an embedded controller directly inside the PXIe chassis, engineers can use:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>External PC + PCIe-8398 + PXIe Remote Control Module<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis configuration provides access to the processing power, memory, storage, graphics capability, and upgrade flexibility of an external workstation or rackmount PC.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Software-Transparent PCI Express Connection<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 creates a software-transparent PCI Express connection between the host computer and the PXI Express system.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFrom the software perspective, PXI Express instruments can be accessed through the host system without requiring a network-based communication layer between the PC and chassis.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Compatible with PXIe-8398<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 can be paired with the <strong>PXIe-8398<\/strong> PXI Remote Control Module.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA typical configuration is:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Host PC \u2192 PCIe-8398 \u2192 MXI-Express Gen 3 \u2192 PXIe-8398 \u2192 PXI Express Chassis<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<h4>Compatible with PXIe-8399<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 can also be connected to a compatible <strong>PXIe-8399<\/strong> remote control module for supported PXI Express system configurations.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe exact cabling and system architecture should be selected according to the required chassis configuration and bandwidth.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Gen 3 x8 Copper Cable Connections<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 connects to compatible PXIe remote control modules using <strong>Gen 3 x8 MXI-Express copper cables<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor a full x16 connection, multiple x8 cable links are used according to the supported connection architecture.\n<\/p>\n<h4>External PC Control<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 enables engineers to use an external desktop, workstation, or rackmount computer as the controller for a PXI Express measurement system.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis can provide advantages when the application requires:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High-performance

generate large continuous data streams.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 is designed for systems where high-throughput communication between the PXI Express chassis and external host is important.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOverall system streaming performance can depend on:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Host PCI Express slot configuration<\/li>\n<li>Number of PCIe lanes<\/li>\n<li>MXI-Express cable configuration<\/li>\n<li>PXIe remote control module<\/li>\n<li>PXIe chassis backplane<\/li>\n<li>Installed instrumentation<\/li>\n<li>Host CPU and memory performance<\/li>\n<li>Storage subsystem performance<\/li>\n<li>Software architecture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>PCIe x16 Slot Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>\nFor maximum PCIe-8398 performance, a host computer with an electrically <strong>PCI Express x16<\/strong> slot is recommended.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 can operate in some compatible PCI Express slots that provide fewer electrical lanes, provided the physical slot accepts the x16 card.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, operating with fewer PCIe lanes reduces available bandwidth. Therefore, an electrically x16 PCI Express slot is recommended for applications requiring maximum MXI-Express throughput.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Using PCIe-8398 in a PCIe x8 Slot<\/h3>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 is a full-length x16 PCI Express card. It can operate in a compatible open-ended PCIe x8 slot or another slot that physically accepts its x16 edge connector.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPCI Express automatically negotiates the available number of lanes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, an x8 electrical connection provides approximately half the PCI Express lane bandwidth of an x16 connection. For maximum PXI remote-control performance, use an electrically x16 host slot whenever possible.\n<\/p>\n<h3>MXI-Express Gen 3 Cabling<\/h3>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 uses high-speed MXI-Express Gen 3 cabling to communicate with compatible PXIe remote control hardware.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor Gen 3 x16 configurations, the link can use multiple x8 cables. Correct cable installation is important for proper operation and maximum system performance.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBefore powering the system, verify:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Correct cable type<\/li>\n<li>Correct connector orientation<\/li>\n<li>Correct port sequence<\/li>\n<li>Secure cable connections<\/li>\n<li>Compatible remote control module<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>PCIe-8398 Remote Control Architecture<\/h3>\n<p>\nA complete PCIe-8398 remote control system typically includes:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Desktop \/ Rackmount Computer<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2193<br \/>\n<strong>PCI Express Gen 3

Modules<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<h3>PXIe-PCIe8398 Remote Control Bundle<\/h3>\n<p>\nNI also offers the <strong>PXIe-PCIe8398<\/strong> remote control bundle for building a complete host-to-PXI Express connection.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe bundle includes:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PCIe-8398 host interface device<\/li>\n<li>PXIe-8398 PXI remote control module<\/li>\n<li>High-speed copper cable connector<\/li>\n<li>Two MXI-Express cables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe bundle is useful when building a new PXI Express remote-control system because the required host and chassis interface hardware is supplied together.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Software Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>\nBecause the PCIe-8398 provides a software-transparent PCI Express connection, PXIe instruments are accessed by the host computer through their applicable NI drivers and application software.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDepending on the installed PXIe instruments, software can include:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NI Measurement &amp; Automation Explorer (NI MAX)<\/li>\n<li>\u041b\u0430\u0431\u0412\u044c\u044e<\/li>\n<li>\u0422\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0430\u044f

Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>\nSome host computer BIOS and PCI Express architectures may require additional MXI-Express compatibility configuration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNI provides MXI-Express BIOS Compatibility Software for supported systems that cannot boot correctly with an MXI-Express connection or cannot recognize the PXI\/PXI Express devices behind the connection.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis software should only be installed when required for the specific computer and MXI-Express configuration.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Power-On Sequence<\/h3>\n<p>\nFor applicable PCIe-8398 systems, the PXI Express chassis and MXI-Express connection should be established before starting the host computer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA typical sequence is:\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Power off the host computer.<\/li>\n<li>Verify the PCIe-8398 is correctly installed.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the MXI-Express cables.<\/li>\n<li>Power on the PXI Express chassis.<\/li>\n<li>Power on the host computer.<\/li>\n<li>Verify the PXI\/PXIe devices in NI MAX or the operating system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Hot-Plug Considerations<\/h3>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 should not be treated as a hot-pluggable PCI Express host interface card during normal system operation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPower down the system before installing, removing, or changing the PCIe-8398 hardware or MXI-Express cabling unless a specific NI procedure explicitly states otherwise.\n<\/p>\n<h3>How to Choose a PXI Remote Control Interface<\/h3>\n<p>\nBefore selecting the PCIe-8398, evaluate:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Host computer PCI Express generation<\/li>\n<li>Available

PXI Express chassis from an external desktop or rackmount computer.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What is the part number of the PCIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe NI ordering part number for the PCIe-8398 is <strong>784179-01<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What is the PCIe interface of the PCIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 uses a <strong>PCI Express Gen 3 x16<\/strong> host interface.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What is the bandwidth of the PCIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nNI specifies the PCIe-8398 as a <strong>13.6 GB\/s device for PXI remote control<\/strong>. Actual system performance depends on the host PCIe configuration, remote-control hardware, cabling, chassis, installed instruments, and application.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What is the difference between PCIe-8398 and PXIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 is installed in the external host computer, while the PXIe-8398 is installed in the PXI Express chassis. They can be used together to create a high-speed PXI remote-control connection.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Can PCIe-8398 connect to PXIe-8399?<\/h4>\n<p>\nYes. NI specifies the PCIe-8398 for connection to compatible PXIe-8398 or PXIe-8399 PXI remote control modules.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Can the PCIe-8398 be installed in a PCIe x8 slot?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 can operate in a compatible slot that physically accepts its x16 edge connector, including some open-ended x8 slots. However, fewer electrical PCIe lanes reduce available bandwidth. An electrically x16 slot is recommended for maximum performance.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Does the PCIe-8398 require an embedded PXIe controller?<\/h4>\n<p>\nNo. The purpose of the PCIe-8398 remote-control architecture is to allow an external computer to control the PXI Express chassis instead of using a conventional embedded PXIe controller.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Does the PCIe-8398 use MXI-Express?<\/h4>\n<p>\nYes. The PCIe-8398 is a high-performance <strong>MXI-Express Gen 3 x16<\/strong> host interface for PXI remote control.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What cables are required for the PCIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe PCIe-8398 uses compatible Gen 3 MXI-Express cables. A full x16 configuration uses the appropriate supported cable arrangement between the PCIe-8398 and compatible PXIe remote-control module.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Can the PCIe-8398 control PXI Express instruments from a desktop PC?<\/h4>\n<p>\nYes. This is its primary application. The PCIe-8398 allows a compatible desktop, workstation, or rackmount computer to function as the host controller for a PXI Express system.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Can the PCIe-8398 be used for high-speed data streaming?<\/h4>\n<p>\nYes. Its Gen 3 x16 architecture is particularly useful for PXIe systems containing high-throughput digitizers, FPGA hardware, RF instruments, and other devices that transfer large amounts of measurement data.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Is the PCIe-8398 hot-pluggable?<\/h4>\n<p>\nNo. Normal hot-plugging of the PCIe-8398 is not supported. Hardware and cable changes should be performed according to the applicable NI installation and power-down procedures.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Is the PCIe-8398 discontinued?<\/h4>\n<p>\nNo. NI currently lists <strong>784179-01 PCIe-8398<\/strong> \u043a\u0430\u043a <strong>Active<\/strong> product.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What is included with the PCIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nNI currently lists the PCIe-8398 device, a low-profile PCI Express bracket, and safety, environmental, and regulatory documentation as included items. Cables and the chassis-side remote-control module should be selected according to the system configuration unless purchased as part of a complete bundle.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What should I check before purchasing a PCIe-8398?<\/h4>\n<p>\nBefore purchasing the PCIe-8398, verify the host computer PCIe slot, electrical lane width, PXIe chassis, compatible PXIe-8398 or PXIe-8399 remote-control module, MXI-Express cable configuration, required bandwidth, BIOS compatibility, operating system, instrument drivers, and complete PXI Express system architecture.\n<\/p>\n<h3>\u0417\u0430\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/h3>\n<p>\n\u0417\u0435\u043c\u043b\u044f <strong>NI PCIe-8398 PCI Express Host Interface<\/strong> provides a high-performance PCI Express Gen 3 x16 connection for remotely controlling PXI Express systems from an external desktop, workstation, or rackmount computer.
