Description
The 778140-02 is a model PXI-8170 embedded controller that belongs to the category of PXI Embedded Controllers. This particular model is designed to operate with either Windows NT or Windows 98 operating systems, ensuring compatibility with legacy software and systems. At its core, it features an Intel Processor and is built on the Intel BX chipset, providing reliable performance for a range of applications.
The PXI-8170 is designed in a 3U Eurocard size, making it compact and suitable for integration into standard PXI chassis. It is compatible with all CompactPCI and PXI peripheral modules, offering a high level of flexibility for system expansion. For software development and application, it comes pre-installed with options such as LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW, which are essential tools for engineers and scientists working on measurement and automation tasks.
In terms of hardware configuration, the PXI-8170 features a standard setup that includes 1 Ultra DMA33 hard drive, 1 serial port, 1 parallel port, 1 USB port, and a 3.5 in. 1.44 MB floppy drive. It also comes equipped with integrated Super VGA with 2 MB DRA and 64 MB of 100 MHz SDRAM, with the capability to upgrade the RAM up to 256 MB for applications requiring more memory.
For connectivity and expansion, the controller requires 1 system slot and 3 controller expansion slots. It also supports peripheral expansion through PCI local bus and AGP, with transfer speeds of 266 Mbytes/s for AGP and 132 Mbytes for PCIbus. This allows for a broad range of peripheral devices to be added to the system for enhanced functionality.
The physical dimensions of the PXI-8170 are 8.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm, and it weighs 1.1 Kg (2.4 lb), making it lightweight and easily
