Overview
The NI PXI-CardBus8310 interface kit gives you direct control of PXI systems
via your laptop computer. The CardBus-to-PXI link is transparent to software
applications and drivers to provide the ability to use laptop computers to
control PXI systems. The NI PXI-CardBus8310 interface kit is ideal for use with
portable systems, and you can pair it with DC-powered chassis to provide mobile
solutions for applications such as in-vehicle data logging and test.

CardBus Kit for Control of PXI/CompactPCI
NI PXI-CardBus8310 with 3 m cable ..............................................779540-01
Kit includes one CardBus card (CardBus-8310), one PXI module (PXI-8310), and one 3 m cable kit.
PCMCIA CardBus Control of PXI
With a PXI-CardBus8310 interface kit, you can transparently control a PXI system
from a laptop computer with a CardBus slot. The CardBus-to-PXI link consists of
an NI CardBus-8310 card in a laptop computer connected via industry-standard
CAT 5 Ethernet cabling to an NI PXI-8310 module in slot 1 of a PXI chassis. For
convenience, you can purchase either a complete PXI-CardBus8310 interface kit
with all necessary components or purchase the CardBus card, PXI module, and
cabling separately.
The PXI-CardBus8310 interface kit, which uses a StarFabric serial interface
to implement a CardBus-to-PCI bridge, provides a transparent link where all
PXI modules appear as if they are PCI boards within the laptop computer itself.
However, you benefit from the increased number of slots, power and cooling per
slot, module selection, and synchronization features provided by PXI.

System Assurance Programs
NI system assurance programs are designed to make it even easier for you
to own an NI system. These programs include configuration and deployment
services for your NI PXI, CompactRIO, or Compact FieldPoint system. The NI Basic
System Assurance Program provides a simple integration test and ensures that
your system is delivered completely assembled in one box. When you configure
your system with the NI Standard System Assurance Program, you can select
from available NI system driver sets and application development environments
to create customized, reorderable software configurations. Your system arrives
fully assembled and tested in one box with your software preinstalled. When
you order your system with the standard program, you also receive system-
specific documentation including a bill of materials, an integration test report,
a recommended maintenance plan, and frequently asked question documents.
Finally, the standard program reduces the total cost of owning an NI system
by providing three years of warranty coverage and calibration service. Use the
online product advisors at
ni.com/advisor
to find a system assurance program
to meet your needs.
Calibration Services
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-
accuracy measurements. We provide manual calibration procedures, services
