How to Install PCI card on PXI Machine?

[Sunny@]

Hello,
I have an NI PXI-1033 computer and I want to install a PCI Synchronous Serial card on it.
Are there any available riser-cards that bridges PXI/CompactPCI to PCI or is there something simpler I have to do since PXI is based on PCI?

I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hi Sunny,

NI doesn't make one of these converters, but I tried searching for one and was unable to find it. If you are using a PXI-1033, you will be using an external PC to control the chassis (instead of an embedded controller). If you are using a PC instead of a laptop, you should have PCI slots in the PC that you could use. Unless someone in the community has used a PXI-PCI adapter, I don't have an answer for you.

Thanks Missy,

I didn't find a PXI to PCI adapter but I found CompactPCI to PCI adapters which work great with the PXI-1033

I recommend the ones from EKF available at http://www.ekf.de/c/cadp/cadp.html

Hi Sunny,

I'm glad you found hardware that will work in your application! Thanks for posting this information!

Hey Sunny,

Did that EKF board slide into the PXI chassis just like a standard PXI card, or did you have to interface it with the chassis in some other way?

Thanks,

Josh

While this is an old thread, I was hoping to find out how the adapter worked.  Any unexpected problems you had to address?

I am not sure if it worked or not, I recommend you also to create a new forum, soo other people can see it as a different guest, however I found some information on the following link that tell that it is not supported, so it is hard to tell if it will work or not.
