The PXI-8170 uses Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) and PCI local bus for 
peripheral expansion. AGP is a new generation high-performance 
component level interconnect graphics interface. AGP 1x provides a bus 
speed of 266 Mbytes/s. The PCIbus is a 32-bit multimaster bus that 
achieves a top throughput of 132 Mbytes/s and can handle numerous 
peripherals.

For information on installing and configuring these peripherals for use 
with the PXI-8170, refer to the 

C:\Images\Pxi8170

 directory. The 

drivers.txt

 file explains how to install support for each peripheral. This 

directory also contains manufacturers’ documentation for the peripherals.
