NI PXIe-8383mc Getting Started Guide
This effectively creates a tree (or Star) connection topology as shown in the example
connectionscenario in Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Example PXImc System
Figure 2 shows how various types of sub-systems can be connected to a Primary System Host to
create a tree topology of PXImc Devices. The cable ports of all PXImc Logic Blocks in the
example are indicated by an “mc” glyph to show their locations. In cases where a sub-system
does not contain a PXImc Logic Block, a NI PXIe-8383mc can be installed in the Primary
System Host to create a Logical PXImc Device out of the sub-system.
Tip
Consolidating all NI PXIe-8383mc adapter modules into a single PXI-Express
chassis, ideally the Primary System Host, will simplify the power sequence of the
overall PXImc system.
