The 43-921 PCI Express-to-PXI Express expansion kit allows
control of PXI Express modules installed in a PXI Express
chassis using high bandwidth PCI Express technology. The
extension kit provides up to 4 GB/s using PCIe Gen 2 x8
signalling. The 43-921 PCI Express-to-PXI Express expansion
kit provides additional PXI instrument slots to the host
computer by implementing a PCI Express-based control of
PXI modules. The technology consists of a 53-921-001 adapter
card installed in the host computer, a PCIe x8 cable, and a
43-921-00x 3U (Eurocard) remote control interface module.
The 53-921-001 comes in a PCI Express x8 footprint and is
equiped with a PCIe x8 cable connector.
The 43-921-001 with dual ports has the capability of multi-
chassis control in a daisy-chain configuration. The upper port
is connected to a 53-921-001 installed in a host PC and the
lower port is connected to a 43-921-002 in the system slot of
a second chassis. Alternatively, a 43-921-003 module fitted to
a peripheral slot in the first chassis can be used to control the
43-921-002 module in the second chassis - see diagram below.
With comprehensive hardware and software transparency, the
expansion kit enables fast and convenient detection of any PXI
cards installed in the system, requiring no additional drivers
or software.
