Description
The NI 8174 is a PXI Embedded Controller bearing the part number 187317H-610. It falls under the category of PXI Embedded Controllers and is designed to offer robust performance for automated test and measurement systems. This model, the PXI-8174, is particularly noted for its powerful 566 MHz processor speed, ensuring efficient handling of complex data and processes.
It runs on the Windows 2000 operating system, providing a stable and familiar environment for software applications. Compatibility with chassis is quite flexible, with an example being the PXI-1000B, allowing for easy integration into existing systems. The standard I/O ports include VGA, RS-232 Serial Port, Ethernet Port, Parallel Port, USB Ports, and PS/2 Port, offering a wide range of connectivity options for various peripherals and devices.
An interesting feature is its front panel TRG connector, which is a software-controlled trigger connection specifically designed for PXI triggers, facilitating synchronized operations across multiple devices. When it comes to data storage options, it supports USB storage, an internal IDE hard drive, and a 1.44 MB floppy disk, providing flexibility in how data is saved and accessed.
The boot options are comprehensive, including internal IDE hard drive, internal 1.44 MB floppy drive, internal IDE CD-ROM, external USB floppy drive, external USB mass storage device, and external SCSI hard drive, ensuring that users have multiple ways to start the system based on their specific needs or preferences. In terms of physical dimensions, it measures 6.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm and fits the PXI 3U size specification, making it compact and suitable for integration into a wide range of setups.
It is important to note that this model has been announced by National Instruments as being obsolete, which may affect availability and support options for this particular model in the future.
