Description
The device is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 (2.16 GHz dual-core) processor, ensuring efficient multitasking and smooth performance across various applications. It is built on the Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset, providing a solid foundation for stable operations and compatibility with a wide range of software and hardware components.
For graphics, it utilizes an Intel GMA 950 graphics media accelerator, capable of handling everyday graphics needs with ease. The system supports a system/slot bandwidth of 132 Mb per second, facilitating swift data transfer and processing capabilities. It also comes equipped with a generous 4 Mb of L2 cache, enhancing the overall speed and efficiency of the processor.
Connectivity options are plentiful, with four Hi-Speed USB ports for connecting various peripherals and devices. Additionally, it features a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive for optical media, a parallel port (one IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP), and a serial port (one RS232 port), providing versatile options for connecting older devices and instruments. An integrated GPIB (IEEE 488) controller is also included, making this device suitable for specialized applications that require GPIB communication.
The device is compatible with a wide range of software, including NI-DAQmx, LabWindows/CVI, LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and NI-VISA, ensuring flexibility and ease of integration into various workflows and environments. For video output, it offers a DVI-I connector, compatible with both analog VGA and digital DVI signals, catering to different display requirements.
Despite its powerful features, the device maintains a lightweight profile at just 2.1 lbs., and its compact dimensions of 3.2 x 5.1 x 8.5 inches make it easy to accommodate in any workspace. Lastly, it is important to note that its obsolete status has been announced by National, indicating that it may no longer be in production or supported in the future, which is an important consideration for potential users.
