41-921, 51-921 PCI to PXI Remote Control Interface

A seamless connection between a control PC's PCI interface and a PXI chassis. The 51-921 resides in one of the controllers PCI slots and provides two independent StarFabric serial interfaces, each capable of driving a separate PXI chassis. The 41-921 resides in the Slot 1 position of a 3U PXI chassis and interfaces to the backplane of the PXI chassis. When located in a generic peripheral slot the 41-921 can be used to drive two extension PXI chassis.The use of the StarFabric interface operating at 2.5 Gb/s minimizes the impact on system speed. The PCI interface of the 51-921 supports both 32 bit and 64 bit operation and backplane speeds of 33 MHz and 66 MHz, ensuring the highest speed operation under all conditions. The StarFabric interface ensures the modules perform seamlessly with no impact on the test system software.
