With comprehensive hardware and software transparency, the expansion kit enables fast and convenient detection of any installed PXI/CompactPCI cards in the expansion system, without requiring additional drivers or software installation. ![Front view of a white and blue electronic oscilloscope with a cable and connector (no visible text or labels)](.pcie-8560-pxi-8565-datasheet-en-1/2d7a880981beee998438998587e3ce4f14c827435defaa99649e1a9824a5fd0f.jpg) # Controlling PXI™/CompactPCI® with PCI Express® The PCIe-8560 and PXI-8565 PCI Express-to-PXI/CompactPCI expansion kit provides additional PXI slots to the host computer by implementing a PCI Express-based control of PXI/CompactPCI modules. The technology consists of a PCIe-8560 card installed in the host computer, a shielded cable, and the expansion system with the 3U (Eurocard) PXI-8565 expansion module. The PCIe-8560 comes in a PCI Express x1 footprint and converts PCI Express signals to a PCI bridge that supports seven 32-bit/66 MHz PXI/ CompactPCI modules. # Features ■ PCI Express-based control of PXI/CompactPCI ■ High-speed PCI Express x1 interface ■ Direct control of PXI/CompactPCI systems ■ Supports 32-bit/66 MHz PCI™ interface ■ Expansion distance of up to 7 meters (expansion cables at 1 M, 3 M, and 7 M) ■ Comprehensive hardware and software transparency ■ Compliant with • PCI Express® Base Specifications Rev. 1.0a • PXI™ Specifications Rev. 2.2 • PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specifications Rev. 1.2 • PCI™ Local Bus Specifications Rev. 3.0 # General Specifications • Operating temperature: 0˚C to 50˚C (32˚F to 122˚F) • Storage temperature: -20˚C to 80˚C (-4˚F to 176˚F) • Relative humidity: 10% to 90%, non-condensing # Certification • EMC/EMI: CE, FCC Class A # Ordering Information ■ PCI Express-to-PXI Expansion Kit Includes One PCIe-8560, One PXI-8565, and One ACL-EXPRESS-3 Cable ■ PCIe-8560 PCI Express-to-PXI Expansion Interface Card for host PC ■ PXI-8565 PCI Express-to-PXI Expansion Interface Card for 3U CompactPCI/PXI Chassis ■ ACL-EXPRESS-1 High-speed Expansion Cable, 1 M ■ ACL-EXPRESS-3 High-speed Expansion Cable, 3 M ■ ACL-EXPRESS-7 High-speed Expansion Cable, 7 M ![Close-up of a blue PCIe-8560 PCI card with visible ports and connectors (no readable text or symbols)](.pcie-8560-pxi-8565-datasheet-en-1/553c3cae384d5710effb3acd74ef6bc00a0f1f2fb395b4038450a42037048635.jpg) ![This image displays two pieces of computer hardware against a white background.
