PCIe control of PXI chassis?

[stevempotter]

I have a PXI-1002 chassis, and recently upgraded to a new PC, with only PCIe slots. As we previously used MXI-3 fiber optic link to the old PC, via a PCI card, we need a new interface. I read that even if I had a PCI slot, MXI-3 is not compatible with Windows 7.

We have about 60MB/sec of data flowing mostly into the PC from the PXI chassis.

What hardware works with Windows 7, and should I get my data into the PC via its PCIe slots, the ethernet port, firewire, or what?

It seems like such upgrade headaches should have been experienced by many NI users on this forum.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Steve,

Here is a link that has some info on MXI-Express, which is what you will probably want to use. The Seven-Minute Demonstration is helpful for understanding more about the technology.

Here is the product page for the PCIe-8361,8362 and PXI-8360 Combo.

I hope this helps out!
