usb hub

[Clint_Eastwood1000]

I have a PXeI8101/Windows 7 Pro.  It only has 2 USB Ports.  Can anyone recommend an expansion device??  ( USB Hub maybe??)

Maybe 4 ports.  The PXI chassis is internal to a Test Set so I want it self powered.  I don't know what "bus, self powered; bus,powered; mains powered and self powered" is.  If the usb powers the HUB can the PXIe supply the current necessary to do so??  What is "SVHC" as an option??

Thanks...

Hi Clint_Eastwood1000,

You should be able to use a USB hub with your PXIe 8101, NI does not have a recommeded device.  However, you may find this thread useful:
