Description
The PXI Embedded Controller, identified by the part number 186190A-221, is a high-performance computing solution designed for integration into PXI systems. This model, the PXI-8156, is equipped with a 233 MHz processor, providing robust processing capabilities suitable for a wide range of applications.
The unit comes pre-installed with WIN NT, and is described as the PXI-8156B, 233 MHz Controller with WIN NT, 32 MB installed. This initial memory setup of 32 MB DRAM is expandable, allowing users to increase memory capacity as needed to meet the demands of their specific applications. Additionally, the controller features a 2 GB hard drive, which is also expandable, offering ample storage for software, data logging, and more.
For flexible connectivity and data transfer, the PXI-8156B includes a 3.5 in. 1.44 MB floppy drive, providing a method for reading and writing to floppy disks. The video output supports Super VGA, ensuring high-quality visuals for user interfaces and data display. Communication with external devices is facilitated through 2 RS-232 serial ports, 1 Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, 1 PS/2-style keyboard port, and 1 PS/2-style mouse port. These ports enable the connection of a wide range of peripherals, enhancing the controller’s versatility.
For network connectivity, the controller is equipped with 1 10BaseT Ethernet port, allowing for integration into local area networks and facilitating remote access and control. Additionally, the inclusion of 1 Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) parallel port and 1 (24-pin standard GPIB connector) GPIB port further extends the PXI-8156B’s capabilities, enabling the connection to a variety of instruments and devices for comprehensive system integration and control.
