Modules deliver Gigabit Ethernet to PXI systems

10 September 2003 Computer/Embedded Technology

Engineers now can use National Instruments' new Gigabit Ethernet or combination Gigabit Ethernet and GPIB controller modules to connect their PXI system to Gigabit Ethernet networks for increased performance.

The NI PXI-8231 Gigabit Ethernet and NI PXI-8232 combination Gigabit Ethernet and GPIB modules allow users to transfer files, connect to networks and view video images across a network all at a faster speed than before. Engineers can achieve transmission speeds of up to 500 Mbps and receive speeds of up to 800 Mbps.

Gigabit Ethernet is fully compatible with existing Ethernet standards and cabling. The Gigabit Ethernet port automatically switches between 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps modes, depending on the network capability, as the boards are fully compatible with 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks. The Auto-MDI feature of the modules auto-detects whether the cable is a straight through or crossover Ethernet cable and can use either cable type.

These modules integrate with all PXI hardware products and a variety of software, including NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, TestStand and Switch Executive. NI ships the boards with NI-488.2 and NI-VISA application programming interfaces for Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/9x.
