PXIe-8234 General Purpose?

[xl600]

I have a PXIe-1082 chassis with a spare slot.  Can the PXIe-8234 be used in any slot and act as a general purpose Gigabit Ethernet interface for TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, and all that?  I don't need it for it's stated use as a GigE Vision interface, I may just need additional network I/O through LabView RT and through Windows 7 (Dual boot or separate hard drives).

Thanks,

Robert

Hi xl600,

The PXIe-8234 can be used as a normal GigE interface.  It comes with the Vision Software which aids in vision-related applications, but this will be a functioning GigE interface for your PXIe system and doesn't have to be used for vision.

That's what I was hoping for.  Thanks!
