Description
The device is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor, which clocks in at 2.16 GHz and is dual-core, providing a balance of power and efficiency for computing tasks. It is supported by the Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset, ensuring compatibility and reliability in performance.
For graphics, it utilizes the Intel GMA 950 graphics media accelerator, which delivers adequate performance for general use and some multimedia tasks. The system’s performance is further enhanced by its 132 Mb per second system/slot bandwidth, which facilitates quick data transfer and processing.
The device comes with a generous 4 Mb L2 Cache, helping to speed up processing times by storing frequently accessed data close to the CPU. Connectivity is robust with four Hi-Speed USB ports, allowing for multiple peripherals to be connected simultaneously.
For data reading and media playback, it includes a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, providing versatility in media formats it can handle. Additionally, it features one IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP parallel port and an RS232 serial port, offering options for connecting legacy devices.
An integrated GPIB Controller (IEEE 488) is included, catering to specialized instruments and devices, making it suitable for technical and scientific applications. The device is compatible with a range of software including NI-DAQmx, LabWindows/CVI, LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and NI-VISA, ensuring it can be used for a variety of purposes, from development to data acquisition.
Video output is provided via a DVI-I connector, which is compatible with both analog VGA and digital DVI, offering flexibility in monitor connections. The device is lightweight at only 2.1 lbs., and its compact dimensions of 3.2 x 5.1 x 8.5 inches make it easy to place in a variety of environments.
Despite its capabilities, it has been announced by National Instruments as obsolete, though it remains available for purchase for those who
