Adlink Technology Inc. has released a new multi-slot ExpressCard-to-PXI extension system consisting of the EC-8560 ExpressCard and corresponding PXI-8565 PXI card.
The EC-8560/PXI-8565 extends more PXI slots from an ExpressCard-based laptop computer via a shielded cable connection up to 7m in length. PXI devices installed in the extension PXI chassis behave and work as if they are directly installed in the host system and do not require any additional driver or software installation.
The EC-8560/PXI-8565 features expanding the I/O capability of measurement and automation systems from a mobile device such as laptop computer. It also offers a ruggedized extension kit that can withstand high temperatures and harsh vibrations so that host computer with a ExpressCard interface can both be located at a safe distance from such environment and directly control remote PXI devices.
