How many PXI Ethernet Cards supported in LabVIEW RT?

How many ethernet ports does LabVIEW RT support.  If I put in several cards (such as PXI-8231, PXI-8232, or PXIe-8234) into a PXI chassis, then would I be able to configure and use them all?

Hello kmcdevitt,

 

It should be fine to have as many ethernet cards as you need in the PXI chassis. There's a global limit depending on the number of interrupt lines available on the motherboard (or PXI chassis), but it's up to around 16, depending on the controller. You would set them up using the Advanced Ethernet Settings section in MAX, as explained in this LabVIEW Real-Time Module Help article. I posted the 2011 help but this works for a few versions back, what version of LabVIEW RT are you using? Hope this helps!

 

Regards,
