Figure 1-1. Basic MXI-Express Configuration
The NI PCIe-8362 has two MXI-Express connectors, allowing one
NI PCIe-8362 to host two different NI PXIe-8360 cards in separate
PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis. If multiple PCI Express slots
are available in the host PC, additional PXI Express chassis can be
connected by installing an additional NI PCIe-8361/8362 in any available
PCI Express slot.
