Description
The MXIe PXI-Express Bus Expander allows for direct control of PXI-Express systems from any PCI Express slot in a desktop computer or server. MXIe-Express configurations supporting x1 (208 MB/s) PCI-Express lane to remotely control one PXIExpress chassis. The MXIe-Express technology utilizes a high bandwidth link that is transparent to software applications and drivers, providing the ability to use high performance desktop computers or servers to control PXI-Express systems.
Features
Since PXI-Express is based on the industry-standard PCI-Express bus, the MXIe-Express Bus Expanders provide a transparent link where all PXI and PXI-Express modules appear to the user as if they were PCI or PCI-Express boards within the computer itself. However, with PXI technology, users benefit from an increased number of slots, power and cooling per slot, module selection, and synchronization features. The MXIe-Express employs a high speed serial link to control the PXI-Express chassis. Interfacing cables for the MXIe-Express are available in 3 meter length.
The MXIe-Express is available in x1 configuration supports a sustained data throughput rate of 208 MB/s
Applications
- Remote control of PXIe chassis
- Remote control of cPCIe chassis
