[mcoursen]

Using a PXIe-8115 controller in my 1062q.  I was wondering if it has Wireless capabilities?  Havent received it yet so i was trying to plan if i needed to set up things differently at our facility to icorporate a wired connection.

Hello,

Controllers in general do not have Wi-Fi capabilities. Specifically, this PXIe-8115 only has an Ethernet port on the front and does not have built in Wi-Fi capabilities.  Typically, this controller is directly connected over the Ethernet front connection (see below image). However, you could use a USB-Wi-Fi antenna (click here for google search on "Wi-Fi usb adapter" for more information). 

I hope this help,
