Description
The device is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor, which runs at 2.16 GHz and is dual-core, ensuring efficient multitasking capabilities. It is built on the Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset, providing a solid foundation for its computing capabilities.
For graphics, it utilizes the Intel GMA 950 graphics media accelerator, which supports everyday computing needs, from video playback to basic gaming. The system or slot bandwidth is rated at 132 Mb per second, allowing for quick data transfer and processing speeds.
The processor is supported by a 4 Mb L2 cache, which helps in speeding up processing times by storing frequently accessed data close to the processor. Connectivity is robust with four Hi-Speed USB ports, enabling multiple external devices to be connected simultaneously.
It features an optical drive that reads both CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs, adding to its versatility. For legacy peripherals, it includes an IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP parallel port and an RS232 serial port, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.
An integrated GPIB (IEEE 488) controller is present for advanced data acquisition and control applications, making it suitable for scientific and engineering environments. The system supports several important software, including NI-DAQmx, LabWindows/CVI, LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and NI-VISA, making it highly versatile for professional use.
Its video connector is a DVI-I port, compatible with both analog VGA and digital DVI signals, allowing for flexible display options. The device is lightweight, weighing in at 2.1 lbs., and has compact dimensions of 3.2 x 5.1 x 8.5 in., making it easy to place in a variety of settings.
Despite its robust features, it has been announced by National Instruments as obsolete, though it remains available for purchase, offering a valuable option for specific legacy system requirements or applications.
