with the NI PXI-8186/8187. We recommend you purchase your DDR SO-DIMM modules
from National Instruments. Other off-the-shelf DDR SO-DIMM modules are not
guaranteed to work properly.
NI PXI-8186/8187 User Manual
The SMB connector on the NI PXI-8186/8187 front panel can connect to
or from any PXI backplane trigger line through software. A trigger
allocation process is needed to prevent two resources from connecting to
the same trigger line, resulting in the trigger being double-driven and
possibly damaging the hardware. At the time of this manual's publication,
this software is not yet available; however, an interim trigger routing
software utility is available from National Instruments. Contact National
Instruments or refer to KnowledgeBase 2RCBPFWD at
for more information.
You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXI-8186/8187 by
upgrading the SO-DIMM.
To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXI-8186/8187 from the PXI chassis.
Remove the old SO-DIMM module and install the new SO-DIMM in
the socket as shown in Figure 2-5.
National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with
