Solution
When setting up and connecting multiple PXI chassis via a daisy chain configuration there are a few routes that you can take. The two most common ones are as follows:
Option 1:
You can use one
PXI Bus Extension Module and one
PXI Remote Control Module per additional chassis to connect them to one another, as described on page 6 of the
PXI Remote Control and System Expansion product flyer.
Available modules are, among others:
- Bus Extension Modules:
- Remote Control Modules:
An overview about possible combinations of Bus Extensions and Remote Control Modules is available on page 4 of the
PXI Remote Control and System Expansion product flyer.
Option 2:
On a PXIe master chassis (the chassis that is either tied to your host PC or running an embedded controller) you can use a
PXIe-8394, PXIe Bus Extension Module which will allow you to break out to multiple PXI(e) chassis. On each additional PXI(e) slave chassis you can use a
PXIe-8398, PXI Remote Control Module.
