Description
The VXI Embedded Controller with part number 183542A-01 is a sophisticated piece of technology designed for intricate computing tasks. Known by its model name, VXIPC-850, it boasts a 2-slot, C-size configuration, making it versatile for various applications.
This embedded controller features a PCI local bus controlled VXIbus interface, allowing seamless communication and integration within a VXI system. Its modular construction is a significant advantage, including components such as a CPU Card, System I/O, ISA Expansion Slot, and PCI Expansion Slot, among others, ensuring flexibility and scalability in system design.
The VXIPC-850 utilizes MITE based PCI-VXIbus interface circuitry for efficient data management and MANTIS ASIC for effective arbitration and trigger management, highlighting its advanced technological capabilities. Connectivity is a key aspect of this device, featuring SMB connectors for CLK10 signals and triggers and a standard RJ-45 connector for Ethernet, facilitating easy and versatile connections.
For communication protocols, the controller includes a standard IEEE 488.2 port, programmable with ISA interrupts 5 or 11, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of GPIB instruments. The metal enclosure of the VXIPC-850 is designed for easy handling and improved EMC performance, reflecting its robustness and reliability.
CLK10 Signal Generation is achieved through dual sources: an internal oscillator and an external CLK SMB connector, ensuring precise timing and synchronization. Despite its Obsolete Status, as announced by National Instruments, the VXIPC-850 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support and availability for existing and new users.
