"Off Topic" I am looking for an interface that will let me put two monitors on a PXI based system. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

The customer wants two 21 inch monitors side by side so he can see view two seperate front panels.

Win2000 and LV 6.1 in a PXI 8170.

Thanks for any ideas.

There are several brands of CompactPCI video cards that can be used in a PXI system to accomplish this. The brand I have used is made by a company called Pep Modular Components, model CP 331. One of these cards used in conjunction with the built-in video adapter on the PXI-8170 can extend the Windows desktop onto a second monitor so that two Front Panels could be viewed at once. You should visit www.pep.com for more information on these cards.
