With NI PXI-PCIe836x kits, you can control PXI and CompactPCI systems from your PCI Express-equipped desktop or server PC through a fully transparent, high-bandwidth cabled MXI-Express link. The MXI-Express link consists of a PCI Express board in the PC, connected via a MXI-Express cable to a PXI module in slot 1 of a PXI chassis. The PCI Express board is available in two configurations. The NI PXI-PCIe8361 kit includes a PCI Express board with one x1 (“by one”) PCI Express link that provides up to 110 MB/s of sustained throughput when cabled to a PXI chassis. In the NI PXI-PCIe8362 kit, the PCI Express board has two x1 PCI Express links, each of which you can cable to individual PXI chassis to provide up to a total of 160 MB/s of sustained throughput. The NI PXI-8360 module, used in both kits, implements a PCI Express-to-PCI bridge. With MXI-Express, you can use PXI modules as if they are PCI boards directly installed in your PC. To configure a complete PXI system based on a MXI-Express controller, visit ni.com/pxiadvisor.

System Assurance Programs

Reduce your setup time and total cost of ownership, and get a system you can use out of the box with National Instruments system assurance programs. System assurance programs include:

  • Installation and integration test of all individual hardware
  • Courtesy installation of system driver sets and application development environments
  • Three-year warranty and calibration coverage
  • Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility

This service is only available for PXI, NI CompactRIO, and NI Compact FieldPoint systems.

Extended Warranties

National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:

  • Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
  • Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
  • All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications

For more information about your warranty options:

Calibration

NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.

Training

NI training is the fastest, most certain route to productivity with NI tools and successful application development.

Repair Services

Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
