Description
The PXI-8186 is a robust PXI Embedded Controller designed to meet the needs of demanding data acquisition and instrument control applications. It is available in several part numbers, including 778755-00, 778755-01, 778755-02, 778755-33, 778842-00, 778842-01, 778842-02, and 778842-33, catering to a wide array of system requirements.
At the core of the PXI-8186 is a Pentium 4-M processor running at 2.2 GHz, which provides the computational power necessary for multitasking and high-speed data processing. The processor is supported by 512 KB of on-die cache, enhancing its efficiency and speed. The system comes equipped with 256 MB of DDR-SDRAM, ensuring smooth operation and sufficient memory capacity for most applications.
The PXI-8186 boasts a 30 GB hard drive, providing ample storage for software, data logging, and operating systems. This storage is complemented by the controller’s integrated Intel Extreme Graphics core, which facilitates the display of complex graphical user interfaces and data visualizations. The hard drive is a standard 2.5 in., 9.5 mm size, making it easily replaceable or upgradeable if more storage is required.
Connectivity is a strong suit of the PXI-8186, featuring a variety of ports including 1x 10/100BaseTX for network connections, 1x IEEE 1284 Parallel for legacy peripherals, 1x PCI-GPIB/TNT for instrument communication, 2x USB 2.0 for modern devices, 1x PS/2 for keyboards or mice, and 2x Serial ports for additional device connections.
The PXI-8186 is designed to operate within a broad range of temperatures. The standard version operates comfortably between 5 to 40 °C, while an extended-temperature version is available for environments
