Description
The PXI-8156 is a sophisticated PXI Embedded Controller with the part number 777576B-12. It is specifically designed to be used with Windows NT and comes equipped with a hard drive that provides significant storage capacity for applications and data. With an initial storage space of 2 GB, the hard drive is expandable, offering flexibility in managing large datasets or complex software installations.
For legacy support and simple file transfers, this controller includes a 3.5 in. 1.44 MB floppy drive. Its display capabilities are powered by Super VGA technology, ensuring clear and crisp visual output. The PXI-8156 also features multiple connectivity options, including two RS-232 serial ports for serial communications, one Universal Serial Bus (USB) port for modern peripheral connectivity, and both keyboard and mouse ports in PS/2-style to support user input.
Network communication is facilitated via an Ethernet port supporting 10BaseT standards. For enhanced parallel port functionality, it comes with one Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Furthermore, the inclusion of a GPIB port with a 24-pin standard GPIB connector makes it ideal for instrumentation control and data acquisition tasks.
The controller is built on a robust architecture that includes both ISA bus and PCI local bus systems, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripherals and additional cards. It also comes with a comprehensive software kit including NI-488.2M and supports programming through the NI-VISA API, providing a versatile platform for developing and deploying complex test, measurement, and automation systems.
