The National Instruments part number 777707-02 corresponds to the PXI-8461-2 PXI CAN Interface Module, which is specifically designed to facilitate high-performance data communication in intricate applications such as automotive testing. This module is driven by a high-efficiency Intel 80386EX microprocessor, ensuring superior reliability and enhanced processing capabilities. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Mb/s, the PXI CAN Interface Module is equipped with a Philips SJA1000 CAN controller that guarantees robust safety features such as noise immunity and ground loop prevention, thereby ensuring the integrity and accuracy of data transmission.

The module operates within a typical current range of 750 mA, peaking at a maximum of 950 mA, and is intended for installation within a PXI chassis, promoting effective power management and voltage supply. For connectivity, it utilizes Combicon-style pluggable screw terminals, facilitating straightforward integration with associated power lines. With physical dimensions of 16.0 cm by 10.0 cm (6.3 in. by 3.9 in.) and a weight of 160 grams, the module is designed to be lightweight yet durable. It functions effectively in ambient conditions ranging from 0 °C to 55 °C and storage temperatures of -20 °C to 70 °C, alongside relative humidity capabilities of 10% to 90% (non-condensing) during operation and 5% to 95% (non-condensing) during storage.

While the PXI-8461-2 does not offer ingress protection, confirming it is unsuitable for applications where dust and moisture may be present, it does meet FCC Class A noise level emissions standards, allowing its use in environments with regulated RF interference. This module is compatible with various Windows operating systems and supports LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Lookout alongside the NI-DNET driver software.
