Product description
The PXIe interface modules are installed in the system slot and can be combined with
a host adapter to provide a high data BW connection between the host PC and the
chassis. They can also be used together (or with an M9037A PXIe embedded controller)
to interconnect chassis in a multi-chassis system without using an instrument slot. The
chassis module connections are transparent to software applications and allow direct
control of PXIe and AXIe modules. Refer to the example configuration section for details.
The M9021A PCIe cable interface provides a mid-performance (x8 Gen 2) link between
the M9018B PXIe 18-slot chassis and an external computer. The M9021A utilizes special
features built into the M9018B PXIe chassis and is not compatible with the PXIe system
slot in other PXIe chassis.
Use the high performance M9022A single port, x8 PXIe system module in a controller
slot of any PXIe chassis.
The high performance M9023A PXIe dual port system module, installed in the chassis
system slot, offers two possibilities for connection:
– x16 connections from an external computer to a PXI chassis
– Dual x8 connection for multi-chassis systems (one x8 to remote PC, one x8 to sec-
ond chassis). They can also be used to connect an AXIe chassis to a PXIe chassis.
The M9024A PXIe dual port system module with connectivity expansion provides the
same dual (x8) ports as the M9023A plus 2 LAN ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports
and GPIB connections for easy system integration connections directly in the chassis.
Only a single M9024A can be used in a multi-chassis system.
