Front Panel

The following figure shows the PXIe-8246 front panel.

Figure 1. PXIe-8246 Front Panel


The PXIe-8246 provides four standard Gigabit Ethernet ports (Port 0 to Port 3) to acquire images from GigE Vision cameras. When the PXIe-8246 is providing PoE, the LED that corresponds to the port will be lit.
