Description
The PXIe-8100 is a model within the category of PXI Embedded Controllers, designed to offer deterministic instrumentation and data acquisition for continuous applications. It operates with a 1.66 GHz Single-Core processor, ensuring reliable performance for demanding tasks. This model is notable for its compatibility with both PXI Express and CompactPCI Express frameworks, making it a versatile option for various system configurations.
The controller’s part number is 150173A-02L / 781669-33, indicating its specific configuration and design iteration. It is equipped with a BIOS that is configurable for NI PXIe-8100 design settings, allowing users to optimize the system according to their specific needs. Additionally, the device ships with settings for general configurations, meaning it is ready for immediate use in most scenarios.
One of the unique features of the PXIe-8100 is its LabVIEW RT Safe Mode, which automatically boots when no software is installed. This ensures that users can quickly troubleshoot or configure the system in a safe environment. Furthermore, the network connection functionality provides flexibility, supporting DHCP or a link-local IP address if DHCP is not available, facilitating easy integration into existing networks.
For applications utilizing LabVIEW RT, the configuration can be adjusted via switches, providing further customization to meet the precise requirements of various projects. This level of configurability, combined with the controller’s robust specifications, makes the PXIe-8100 an ideal choice for engineers and scientists seeking a powerful and flexible solution for their instrumentation and data acquisition needs.
