Description
The National Instruments PXI-8105 is a high-performance embedded controller designed for use in a wide range of measurement and automation applications. Equipped with an Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 operating at 2.0 GHz, it offers dual-core processing power to handle demanding applications. The processor is supported by a 667 MHz front-side bus and 512 MB of dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 RAM, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
The system’s motherboard is based on the Intel 945GM Express chipset, which provides a solid foundation for its various I/O ports. These include four high-speed USB ports, one serial port (RS232), one GPIB (IEEE 488) controller for instrumentation connectivity, one 10/100/1000 BASE-TX Ethernet port for network connectivity, one ExpressCard/34 slot for expansion, and one Watchdog/trigger SMB port for system monitoring and triggering functions.
The PXI-8105 comes with Windows XP Professional as its default operating system, but it supports user-defined or multiple operating systems, providing flexibility for various application needs. Additionally, the system’s memory can be upgraded up to 4 GB using two SO-DIMM sockets, allowing for future expansions and increased performance.
With dimensions of 3.2 x 5.1 x 8.5 inches and a weight of 2.1 lbs., this embedded controller is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for integrated systems where space is at a premium. Moreover, its compatibility with a wide range of National Instruments software, including NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, and NI Modular Instruments, ensures seamless integration into existing setups and provides a versatile platform for developing custom measurement and automation solutions.
