If the PXI M Series DAQ card has a standard full backplane connector on the back of the card, it can control the SCXI side of a PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis.
Most current M series cards are only shipped with hybrid Connector and cannot be used to control the SCXI portion of a PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis. There are still some cards that are sold with the standard PXI connector option so that they can control the SCXI portion of a PXI/SCXI combination Chassis:
- PXI-6221 (P/N: 779113-01)
- PXI-6229 (P/N: 779115-01)
- PXI-6251 (P/N: 779117-01)
- PXI-6259 (P/N: 779119-01)
- PXI-6289 (P/N: 779123-01)
On the product page for each of these devices, two part numbers are given. One part number is for a version that will work in both a PXI Express and PXI Chassis. The other part number is for a version that can control SCXI in a PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis (the part numbers listed above). Both versions are clearly marked on the product page.
All other PXI M Series, like the PXI-6220, are only sold with the hybrid connector and cannot be used to control SCXI in a PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis.
