- PCIe x16 for a graphics card - Graphics card is not required if using the i7-4790K as it has on board graphics which are fine for ScanImage operations
- (required) PCIe x1 for MXI controller connecting to the PXI chassis
- (optional) PCIe x1 for a PCIe-6321 dedicated to Pockels control
- (optional) PCIe x1 for a PCIe-6321 dedicated to Piezo/Fast Z control.
We recommend PXIe based DAQ's (e.g. PXIe-6341) for Beams and Fast Z features, which reduces the PCIe slot requirements accordingly. Only the PCIe x1 slot for the MXI controller card is strictly required.
Additional PCIe slots may be valuable for future ScanImage or other user-specific requirements
If other graphics intensive applications are going to be used on the computer then a graphics card may be required. We recommend a GTX 960.
