Description
The Part Number 186160B-01 refers to a product within the category of PXI Embedded Controllers, specifically the model PXI-8170. This particular model is equipped with an Intel Processor and is designed in a 3U Eurocard size, making it compatible with standard PXI chassis sizes. It offers flexibility in operating systems, supporting either Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows NT.
For application software, it provides options for LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW, catering to a wide range of development preferences. The PXI-8170 is built on the Intel BX Chipset and features a hard drive with 1 ultra DMA33 capability. Connectivity is facilitated through 1 serial, 1 parallel, and 1 USB port, and it includes a 3.5 in. 1.44 MB floppy drive for additional storage and boot capabilities.
The graphics are managed by an integrated Super VGA with 2 MB DRA, providing adequate display capabilities for most industrial and laboratory applications. It comes with 64 MB of 100 MHz SDRAM, which is upgradable to 256 MB, allowing for memory expansion to meet application requirements. The system requires 1 system slot and 3 controller expansion slots for installation.
Physically, the PXI-8170 measures 8.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm and weighs 1.1 Kg (2.4 lb), making it a compact and lightweight option for embedded control within PXI systems. It is compatible with PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 chassis, ensuring easy integration into existing setups. For peripheral expansion, it supports both PCI local bus and AGP, with data transfer rates of 266 Mbytes/s for AGP and 132 Mbytes for PCI bus, offering high-speed connectivity for additional devices.
