For Windows, the required software is included as part of the latest version of NI PXI Platform
Services included with your kit. The software for your MXI-Express Thunderbolt controller
enhances the product, allowing you to view information about the organization of your PXI
Express system, gain access to the trigger routing capabilities of the PXI Express chassis, and
programmatically retrieve data about the chassis and modules you have installed.
Refer to KnowledgeBase KB 53399AQ7,
PXI Platform Services Operating System Support
,
for the current supported operating systems for NI PXI Platform Services.
If the operating system supports Thunderbolt connectivity, but doesn't support PXI Platform
Services, you can still use MXI-Express Thunderbolt as a PCI Express expansion solution.
However, access to features such as chassis and controller identification, trigger routing, and
slot detection will be lost.
