National Instruments Deliver
Gigabit Ethernet To PXI Systems
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.
With the NI PXI-8231 Gigabit Ethernet and NI PXI-8232 combination Gigabit
Ethernet and GPIB modules, engineers can 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 Mb/s and receive speeds
of up to 800 Mb/s. Gigabit Ethernet is fully compatible with existing Ethernet
standards and cabling. The Gigabit Ethernet port automatically switches
between 10, 100 and 1,000 Mb/s modes, depending on the network capability, as
the boards are fully compatible with 10BaseT and 100BaseTX 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.
The NI PXI-8231 and NI PXI-8232 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.
