1 PXI-8512 revision G and later use the TJA1043 transceiver; previous hardware revisions use the
TJA1041 transceiver. To identify your hardware revision, refer to the 19xxxx<rev>-4xL text on the
green label in the top left corner on the secondary side of the board; <rev> indicates the hardware
revision.
2 The TJA1043 transceiver is CiA certified for baud rates up to 5 Mbit/s in the CAN FD fast phase
while speeds up to 8 Mbit/s are possible experimentally. NI-XNET will provide a warning when a
transceiver is used at higher baud rates than certified for. As newly CiA certified transceivers with
higher baud rates are released, NI will continue to update the hardware with newer revisions.
Random Vibration
Operating 5 Hz to 500 Hz, 0.3 grms

with IEC-60068-2-64. Nonoperating test
profile exceeds the requirements of
MIL-PRF-28800F, Class 3.)
