Engineers and scientists now can access and share measurement and automation devices across standard Ethernet networks using high-speed serial interfaces from National Instruments. All serial ports come with DB9-male serial connectors on the back of the product. Also, more than one user can share networked instruments and automation devices. As a result, companies can spend less on hardware by sharing their measurement and automation equipment across an Ethernet network.
Users can order the servers with either two or four serial ports.
Many times engineers and scientists find their need for slots inside a PC exceed what is available. Software applications make standard Microsoft serial calls to take advantage of the additional serial ports. 2001 National Instruments Corporation. All rights reserved.
